Good morning
A quick nip into blogland whilst waiting for yet another load of weekend washing to finish!
Yep, we've been away again in Bertie - this time really not that far from home. Just 12 miles up the road to the village of Wenhaston and a lovely little campsite I found online.
When we arrived the first thing we heard was these lovelies in their field next to the camping one;
I have a soft spot for donkeys - so it was lovely to have them nearby. Rather funny that the 2 pugs in one of the tents on site though they could take them on and kept barking when the donkeys wandered past their camp - the donkeys failed to even acknowledge them - so laid back.
We were so lucky with the weather one downpour overnight and another we managed to miss as we were just a few miles away on a day out in Southwold. I know we often visit there but this time we went in tourist mode - time for a lovely lunch from the deli and sitting eating it on the prom in front of a couple of unoccupied beach huts;
There were loads of people in the sea - I think the boys wished they'd brought their swimming things with them - how was I to know the forecast was going to be so wrong!
I could happily watch the kite surfers for hours.
Of course a trip to the seaside would be complete without ice creams;
We also spent time playing in the arcades and having silly photos taken. There were also gallopers - little son & I went on and we left big son with the camera - this was the only picture he managed to get of sort of both of us!!
A lovely weekend and a campsite we shall be going back to again I'm sure.
This week sees manic washing, tidying, cleaning and packing as the plan - big son is away for 9 days from Saturday - camping as a Young Leader at a big scout camp in Derbyshire and we're planning another trip away in Bertie to Yorkshire- just 3 of us this time.
Oh and of course there are more Olympics to be watched as well - well done TeamGB for all the medals so far - 3rd place in the medal table - amazing.
See you soon

i love southwold, we havent been yet this year! you were lucky with the weather!!
This looks really gorgeous. Never been to that area but think I must. Even though we now live in a coastal town, I never tire of the sea. Ever.
I think those beach huts are the most expensive in the country aren't they?
Lovely post x x x
