Norfolk, a short exit
Fed up with the dreadful August weather we decided to take a short exit to Norfolk which had a better forecast than the North East. It also had the advantage that that it was an area of the country neither Pippa nor I knew, oh, and it's reasonably flat. Perfect for cycling.rnrnIn fact it was near perfect all round: big skies, quiet country lanes with little or no traffic, fantastic buildings, good food and very nice people. We'll be going again.

Sun at last
Finally, on our much more leisurely return to the car, which we'd parked at Langham, the sun came out. The small country lanes, with hardly a car, were a delight for cycling.Actually, if you look closely, you can see a windmill in the distance. It's at Cley Next The Sea, which we drove to later, and like its neighbour Blakeney it's a charming little village.
That windmill again
This is the windmill at Cley Next The Sea, you can stay here, and eat, and get married it seems.
Tuesday, and the Broads
We parked in Potter Heigham and cycled up through Hickling to Sea Palling and then to Horsey and lunch at the Nelson's Head; and then back again. The shaky blue line you see on the map is the route we took.
Waxham Barn
This is the largest barn in Norfolk at Waxham and very impressive it was too. We would have stayed longer but the wasps seemed to like Pippa's Dandelion and Burdock almost as much as she did and in the end we left them to it and it to them.
