10th April 2026 is forecast lots cooler than the previous day but with better visibility. That suits fine. We’re off to the North Norfolk coast which requires a bus westward, then another bus northward. For those mathematically minded, the coast forms the hypotenuse, though strictly speaking it’s an arc. So, grab your camera and let’s go
πΌ A Parthian shot as we head out of townΒ π½ A conveniently provided footpath takes us ‘upward’. Where am I taking you? You’ll see
πΌ We pass a field of bleating lambs…Β π½ and sycamore trees, their buds silvery in the sun β¬ we tramp through a belt of trees (perhaps not open to the public, oops)
π½ And finally we’re here. Though truth, we’ve been following Weaver’s Way since we left the town. The 61 mile walk begins in Cromer; it ends in Great Yarmouth
πΌ Can my lens ever resist a gate? No, it cannot π½ The view from this hilltop sweeps over fields, woods and houses, and so to the lighthouse. But even on a clear day zooming such a distance casts all in mist
πΌ A bridge carries Weaver’s Way over the Sheringham to Norwich line. We’ve no idea when the next train is due, but…Β π½ here she comes. Not the longest train we’ve ever seen!
πΌ How could we come to Cromer without a walk along the prom?Β π½ And a few shots of the boats and tractors
πΌ Then back atop the cliff. But I have to pause to take this shot, landing Viking-style, straight up the beach π½ From ‘men of the north’ to impressions of the south. Living in the flatlands to the east, I always think of these houses with their climbing levels as rather exotic, especially with the sun strong upon them
Hope you liked this little taste of Cromer, not the usual crabs and chips!
Don’t miss Tuesday Treats for some of the plant-life π














So many beautiful pictures π

The “domes” on the houses in the last photo are stunning; they remind me of mosques. π

It’s a Victorian/Edwardian hotel. Very grand, overlooks the pier.

I recognised the lighthouse, although I’ve only ever seen it from the other side π

It was taken from quite a distance. I was at the bridge where Weaver’s Way crosses the Sheringham-Norwich line

Thank you. I do try to ring the changes (and usually try to avoid such cliches, sorry) especially when I know we’ve several consecutive woodland walks coming up. It’s bluebell season ππππ

I have them in the garden. But they’re not the English ones. I visit four different woodlands this time of year, each one sweet with perfect English bluebells. You’ll get your fill of them by the time May rolls in
