Sandra’s made some great pictures of our pre and post New Year ramblings: above is a view of the Priory in Castle Acre, full of midwinter gloom – it’s always a treat to walk around the crumbling buildings, whether summer or winter.
Back home there’s plenty to read and watch and listen to in 2012. Before that there is the need for some brisk walks and plenty of fresh air with plenty of opportunity to enjoy granddaughter’s company:
New Year’s Day is always good for a stroll along the beach. This time we went to Cromer looking for shells and those very special stones that centuries of water and wind have transformed into creatures with gnomelike features, ready to pounce or perhaps they will simply be washed away again by the next tide to come and haunt us once more next year:
Sounds and looks like you had a wonderful end to 2011! Wishing you all the best for 2012!
