Holt and Sheringham

Today we went into the village of Holt just before lunch. It is a very quaint place with lots of high class shops - don't know why we went there then!

Afterwards, on our way back we called in at Sheringham, which is also a very quaint place but with the added advantage of being on the coast.

Clumber park

Last week we had a lovely time at Clumber Park, we chilled loads as that was the first real week of our time off. On the Saturday we had a drive out and ended up in Newark - which is a lovely town, lots of shops, cafes, restaurants and of course bars! Later in the afternoon Carl ended up in one called 'Just Beer' whilst I perused the shops in peace!


We also did lots of walking around Clumber Forrest Itself and got lost a couple of times, but all in all we had a relaxing week.

The picture is of one of the tiny streets in Newark.

Clumber park, Nottingham

We arrived safe & sound at lunchtime today. The sun was shining & it was actually quite warm. We have a good nosing pitch (end of a row) as we intend to chillax for the next week: just walking the dogs through the Forrest & not much else, although we may go to watch Skyfall at some point.

On our holidays

We are on holiday now until our winter contract at Brighton starts. We plan to tour down the East coast after we have finished visiting our families.

Tarns Hows

We had a lovely walk around Tarn Hows today. The weather was beautiful & crisp & there were some great autumn scenes on view. See all our photos.

Our boys...

Jake (stood up) & Ted!

Keswick yesterday

It was a beautiful day in Keswick yesterday, we didn't get very far very quickly as it was Teds first proper socialising day - ie to see if he liked the Dog n Gun & the answer was yes!!

Brighton for the Winter!

We are travelling down to Sheepcote Valley for our 2nd part of winter work for the Caravan Club. We will have accommodation there too, so at least we will be lovely & toasty on those cold winter evenings, especially as the site isn't too far from the beach!

We are really looking forward too it as we have never travelled to that area of England before.

Wharfdale nr Grassington

We are having a lovely break away from Coniston for a few days - its our first long break in over two months!
Wednesday eve saw us walk to the Old Hall Inn at Thresfield for our tea. Yesterday we walked into the village of Grassington and had a couple in the Devonshire Hotel.
Today is lovely sunshine & Carl cooked breakfast outside, so this afternoon we may have a little walk with Jake , via our local at Long Ashes!

The Puzzling Place

Tuesday saw us all go to the Puzzling Place at Keswick. It was really amazing - some of the rooms made us feel quite disorientated & sick, but definitely worth a visit if you are in Keswick!
