October 1st today and we're having a wonderful Indian Summer, very hot with clear blue skies and no breath of a breeze at all, not even here by the sea.
We had a week away in Norfolk mid-September, hired a cottage for a change, so we were able to get out & about in the car. Visited Gooderstone Water Gardens, Swaffham, East Dereham, Wells-next-the-sea, Hunstanton (wonderful beach!) and Kings Lynn where my great-great-grandpa Thompson was born in 1822. He was a master mariner so I had to check out the various quays on the Great Ouse river, I could well have trod in his very steps.

and, no, not photo-shopped though I did use Picnik to make it smaller & more blog-friendly |
