What are you all up to

Holiday weekend here in Spain, lots of families on site. Children everywhere zipping about on bikes, scooters and plastic toys. Some sat playing in the middle of the road, lots of noise so we escaped to  the beach for the afternoon, even took a picnic lunch with us.

Its amazing the change from a few days ago where you could hear a pin drop most of the time. Now its deafening, the on site restaurant/bar has music blaring out all evening/night until midnight. Last night the kids were still out running around until almost midnight, complete madness.

Can't remember it being like this the last time we stayed here ( wouldn't have returned if it was) doubt we will come again as its the same tonight. Due to move on up the coast on Tuesday after the holiday weekend. Hope its quieter up there.

Anyway apart from that we have had a good time here, the beaches are amazing and the sea is still warm enough for swimming. 

We took the MH off site yesterday and went down the coast, had a lovely day out, picnic on the beech even managed to come across a market and bought some lovely fresh fruit. Found some salinas that had pink flamingos on them, a lovely walk through the salinas on the board walks to the sea.

Good to read that those on the move yesterday reached their respective destinations safely.

Isn't it funny how some sites suit certain members and not others. We hated Chapel Lane site the only time we stopped there, much too much like a car park for us, so doubt that we'll use it again. It also had the most ignorant and unhelpful wardens we have ever met on a club site.

Enjoy Wells WN. You have better weather than us but we did manage a walk on the beach one early evening in glorious sunshine. Where are you staying? I hope Mrs WN and MIL enjoy the shopping in Wells 😏.

We had beautiful weather this weekend so spent most of it in the garden cutting back and tidying up. It looks as though it might be another good one today before it is forecast to get colder. 

Hi Millie.

We're staying in a hired cottage in Holt. Just as you leave the small town down a cul-de-sac. Lovely place, quiet and private.

I think the ladies are going to spend some money on clothes this morning, then a coffee at the cottage before going to Wells just after lunch. Is that clothes shop near the quay but on the main high street still open? If so MiL will definitely be going in. She always buys something from there. Then a stroll to the beach cafe and beach as the forecast is good.

I'm being called to make breakfast.😂

The Norfolk wildlife trust  centre at Cley is good sit in the cafe and use the supplied binoculars to observe the birds while having coffee and really Good scones 

We saw several Marsh harriers while watching from their centre

Today - "An Inspector Calls".

It's our annual Soil Association Organic Inspection.

The buildings are clean and fresh.

The cows are shiny and bright.

The calves are happy in little groups.

The sun is shining, the grass is green and lush.

And the kitchen table is covered in all the paperwork needed to prove that we truly are Organic. And abiding by Red Tractor regulations (an additional set of rules). All these certification bodies love a good paper trail.

Hope it goes well Goldie. When I was working I used to dread a visit from the VAT people who felt obliged to find the tiniest thing wrong!

Sounds very nice at your holiday abode WN, enjoy your breakfast. 

When I was working and we were obliged to carry out H&S inspections ,on our training module we were always told you must never give a completely clear report,  ,there is always something to comment on 

Lovely sunny start to the day here

Oh yes, that shop near the quay but on the main street is definitely still open. I can vouch for that . There is also another shop at the top of the High Street called 'North's' the ladies might like. Your cottage sounds ideal. It might suit us very nicely. We love Holt. I will have to investigate. Can I ask who you book with? We are new to this game

Millie, it was booked through Holidaycottages and it's called Pippins Lodge.

The 2 of them had a wonderful time in Holt this morning. Our inheritance took a significant hit!😂😂

Parked up on The Green in Wells this afternoon and walked to the beach cafe. We did indeed pop into "Marjorie's" before leaving but unfortunately, for some😁, they didn't have the right sizes for what the ladies were looking for.

Wells looked lovely as usual. The sun was out.
