My first view of the sea this week. 😍 I’ve been here 48 hours and spent all that time wedding, pruning and a bit of painting. I needed a breath of sea air to remind me why I became a holiday let owner! It’s mainly hard work with occasional flashes of respite. 😉
If you fancy a getaway, it’s available next week onwards. See the link in my bio

This is my beach. Well....when I say mine, it’s because most of the time I don’t have to share with anyone. 😁
It’s newly laid with tons of fresh sand, hence the cones and tyre tracks but it’ll be just perfect for when you come and stay. 😍

Two September dates left, then into the autumn we head. Can you picture yourself walking for miles along here?

Beachscape and Tides are both situated on Rainbows End Park, a peaceful park with no on site facilities just this beach to enjoy on your doorstep. Head inland to Bacton Woods for woodland walks too. Both sleep four and welcome dogs.

Next availability this season:

BEACHSCAPE
Monday 7th/14th & 21st October 4 nights £315
Friday 11th October 3 nights £315

TIDES
Tuesday 17th September 3 nights LATE DEAL £295
Monday 23rd September 4 nights £335
Friday 4th/11th/25th October 3 nights £305
Monday 7th/14th/28th October 4 nights £305

Am I allowed to be really excited about this?! 😆

Cromer Carnival is celebrating its 50th year this year and someone came up with the bright idea of producing a limited edition gin!
For all you gin lovers (I became one when I learned a gin was way less calories than a glass of wine, so a good swap on my weight loss journey!) this lovely gin is available to buy at The Old Rock Shop Bistro in Cromer and from the Wharfs distillery website.
From the website description: “With its bright orange berries adorning the Cromer cliff tops, crafting a gin with Sea Buckthorn was an obvious choice. Its sweet, tangy notes compliment the Juniper superbly, whilst the coriander and sweet orange peel bring crisp citrus flavours. Ling heather and Angelica root give warming notes of liquorice and pine.” All profits go to the Cromer Carnival, a fun filled week of activities in August. We’re fully booked for August but those of you in the area, it’s well worth visiting.
Do you have a favourite flavour gin? Personally I love all those citrus flavour ones!

Here’s a view that’s going to change. As the nationally important sandscaping project continues, the groynes which are so distinctive on these beaches will disappear under the sand being brought in to protect this area against coastal erosion.
If you want to enjoy a seaside holiday and get to see the project first hand then the last August availability in Tides, right by the coast is Monday 19th August for four nights.

Oh my what a day and what a view! We were visiting Happisburgh to collect dog biscuits from the lovely Jan at Nero’s Kitchen. We leave them as a welcome gift to all our doggie guests. 😃
I then stumbled across the fact that it was open day at Happisburgh Church and Happisburgh Lighthouse. Having been up the lighthouse a few years ago, but never the church, climbing the tower was the obvious choice!
Steep stairs with a metal spiral staircase at the top is not for the faint heated, but what a reward you get at the top!
The most amazing views across Norfolk. You can see to Mundesley up the coast, down to Sea Palling in the other direction and inland for miles.
Here’s the view over Happisburgh village. You can see the lighthouse, the beach and in the foreground, the lovely Hill House Inn. They serve great pub grub, a Sunday carvery, have a coffee shop on site, brew their own beer and hold an annual beer festival.
This is all within walking distance of Bramble Cottage. Next availability is in October.
Open days are held during some Summer weekends, advertised on the church website.

Oh my! We’ve arrived this week to do some maintenance at Cromer Flint Cottage and the garden has become a bit jungle like! I quite like the atmosphere it gives but the fig tree has gone mad and is trying to enter the house it seems! Got to get some pruning in on the fig and the buddleia.

Do you have plants that overtake your garden unless you keep them in check?

One last August break at Bramble Cottage left. Saturday 10th to Wednesday 14th for four nights. You could be enjoying this sunny courtyard garden with its lovely little summerhouse tucked into the corner; a real suntrap. The cottage is a short walk from the coast so combine rural living with the seaside.

When your work brings you to a view like this, then all the running around, collecting supplies, doing hours of gardening and more become worth it. If only I could have spent a little longer taking the view in!
This is at Sidestrand along the coast road. All the properties are connected by this road with many lovely views of the sea and open countryside along the way.
Looking forward to the next trip along here. 😃

Today was not a day in Norfolk but something you can replicate when on holiday or from home, wherever that may be. Across the country, through the spring and summer, you can find gems like this private garden, that open for one day only to members of the public. Under the National Gardens Scheme, they charge a small fee and the money raised goes to charity. Last year the scheme raised over £3 million pounds that was distributed around various charities. Many of them provide teas and cakes too, so it really is an enjoyable day out. This is Beechleigh in Birch Green, near Hertford. It’s a stunning garden, landscaped by the current owner and the most tranquil place to spend an afternoon. 😍 Check out the NGS to find out the nearest garden that you can visit this year. 🌳🌸🌺🌼

No filter needed, just the reality of being a minutes walk from the sound of the sea. The tide is in, the wind is blowing but there’s still nothing better than a walk along the coast to blow away the cobwebs. 😍🐾🐕🌊

She has a name! Thanks all for entering the prize draw to name the chick. She is now officially called Quackers! To celebrate, she went off to have a smashing all day breakfast up the coast. There’s really not many clues here so I think you’ll do well to guess where she went. 😄
