A day out in Cromer - 25th Aug ‘19

Another exhausting day of doing very little in the sun!

It started with a lunch time trip to Tesco’s at Sheringham. The morning was taken up with the usual tea in bed, leisurely breakfast and personal grooming!

Today was pretty much a reverse of our first day. A walk into Cromer via the cliff / road and then back hone via East Runton along the beach.


We were keen to get lunch from The Bucket List and it was worth it! https://m.facebook.com/Chipbuckets/ A bucket of fries with homemade toppings. I had The Nugs Bucket which had virtually everything on it! Kim’s was a much more modest affair but nether the less equally as delicious. Also needless to say my bucket was emptied - Kim’s wasn’t!


Cromer was absolutely heaving but it had a nice relaxed vibe and the crowds were well spread so seemed fine. We walked toward the Overstrand Beach side. We found a quiet bit of beach for reading, relaxing and swimming. A family did encroach on our space - which is bloody annoying. You try and give those around you a good 5 yards clearance and then the bloody Flintstones come and sit on your lap!

Back home via Cromer Pier and a lot of people watching on the beach while eating ice creams. We were fascinated by a family on the beach with 2 twin boys - about 7. Like our Twinnies they were like human dynamos and with the same fascination for picking things up and chucking them as far as they could. Funny how you can call it “people watching” when it clearly is just being nosey!?


The walk back along the beach with the sun setting and all the day trippers heading hone was lovely.


When we got back to Brunnehilda I caddied a smoked salmon and we had the vegetable paella heated up with it for dinner. Well, to be accurate, I had the fish while Kim has kept her veggie diet going all this holiday - apart from one fish and chips in Southwold last week.


We settled down at about 9 to enjoy a cup of tea and watch a DVD - Goodbye Christopher Robin. Not holding out much too but hey, you never know!?
To be fair we were driven in from enjoying the pleasant evening air by the act in the clubhouse just over the fence (they must have all the windows open!) We’ve just had Neil Diamond, ABBA and now Chuck Berry murdered - enough is enough!
