❀❀❀5th/AUG mini holiday in Norfolk❀❀❀

Finally! It was our mini first our mini holiday in Norfolk this year. Marcus's been STILL bizzy moving house for last a couple of months at least. We didn't spend much going out and about...We did go to Colchester or Newmarket for some shopping and walks near by. But We both were busy doing other stuffs, we weren't managed to get to the beautiful Norfolk coast. So, this day was very exciting for probably both of us, getting together and potter by the beach. We couldn't make our mind to start off with where to go.... still, didn't take long time for us to decide to go to Norfolk coast.
 

We always go to beautiful Holkam, we wanted to explore a little further. Marcus found little place called "Brancaster staithe", sounded nice. So we were off. 

From Bury St Edmund, through Thetford, Swaffham and Huntanton...... All those places were our favo places. Theford has a massive forest, Swaffham has a really nice Waitrose, Hunstanton has a beach. ☺☺☺ Lovely drive too. Feel good to go through the forest especially when it's sunny. Beautiful trees on both side of the road, swaying with light wind, sunny sunshine goes through between leaves....make wonderful tunnels! ☺

About 2 hours or so driving from Bury, we got to the Brancaster Harbour. We picked our snack up from the car, started walking. We got little lost to get to the foot path, we managed to find in the end. It was lovely walk, I wanted to get to the beach. We walked, walked and walked.... The footpath carried on, didn't look like it lead to the beach, so, we walked back to the harbour. Along the way, found a lovely house with big garden facing the sea.

Also found some pretty flowers by the sea. They look happy living there with sea water.

Right, we were (Me, actually...) on the mission to get down the beach with our lunch. When we got back to the car, we drove off to a beach near by. We found in the end.... But, it was too much for us, too many people! Yes, we are old, we like peace and quiet.... I got a little grumpy, after walking 30mins or so, the beach wasn't how I expected! (that was my expectation, a bit tooooo high for summer holiday)

Anyway, bless him, Marcus suggested to go to Hunstanton. It is tourist place, but at least, I thought I could have some fun looking for some fossils on the beach. So we drove off.
It was sooooo cool. When we got there, the car park was full. We had our lunch in the car, because, it started pouring down! (AGAIN ☹!!!!) But cool thing was: within an half our, people who were on the beach (which was lots!) started coming out, AND, left car park with less than 7 cars! We heard thunder, didn't see lightning, but it was cool in the rain. When we finished our lunch, we were ready to explore to the beach!

This was how grey the sky was, sunny Norfolk, England! Yippppppie!!!

Look! Empty car park

 

Hunstanton beach was awesome! We found all sorts of little and big creatures! 

This is an jumbo oyster! It was huge. Marcus got big hands, and the oyster was bigger than his hand. It was moving inside and splashing water! I hope no-one finds him and selling him to near by Michelin star restaurant....✿

Cute cheeky crab, he was trying to scare me with his scissors! Bless, I was poking my fingers to him, I didn't think he liked it. (By the way, Marcus told me to do it!!! ☺☺☺)

Then we saw lots of starfish. They seemed to like to be pair, the most of them were together. I saw some kids picking them up and playing with them. I bet those starfish were screaming at those kids to "get your chubby hands off!!!" Arrrr, bless.☺

Then finally, Marcus found...... dinosaur foot print!!!???

Looks like that, so, leave it like that....at moment.........

Oh, we enjoyed Hunstanton. Now, we were back on the road to Bury.

We found some sign "Sedgeford", so, popped in. We found: Sedgeford historical and archaeological research project(S.H.A.R.P). Wow, it was exciting to see some important English archaeology going on. The site contained Iron Age, Anglo Saxon findings. One day, I'd like to volunteer to help digging. I always wanted to do that! I think very romantic/fascinating to learn and find out about our human history. I love it. At moment, I'm into aliens and ancient civilizations. all interesting stuffs, feels like my little brain's expanding learning all that. 

Anyway, one last finding of the day... We thought it was cute. ☺☺☺

Isn't it cute? We saw it as we we drove past. apparently, the person, who built/made it, made it to order. Wonder how long it would take to make one of those? It was quite small one. I looked a tiny big in the wagon. 

It even had little chine cups and saucers on the wall. there was a little bed too. well cute!!!

Thanks to Marcus for all driving for us today, look forward next adventure! Our big holiday is close!!!! ☺☺☺☺
