Many houses show a Dutch influence in their roof lines... after all, the Netherlands is only a short sail away from East Anglia.
My cousin and I walked along the cliffs towards Sheringham. The wooden groynes and sea walls prevent cliff erosion.
The fossilized skeleton of a male mammoth was discovered in these sandy cliffs in 1990. He stood about 4 metres high, and weighed about 10 tonnes, twice the size and weight of today's elephants.
The view looking towards Sheringham.....
.... and in the other direction towards Cromer.
After such exertion, we needed sustenance, and what could be better than fish'n'chips eaten outside in the sunshine, followed by a visit to the local pub?

ReplyDeleteI love your photos. Your trip must have been just so wonderful. Those fish'n'chips look good and greasy. Yum! I'm serious...my kind of food, but I don't eat too much fried food any more.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sure if I were in England, I would.
Looks devine. What views followed by great sustenance. Pardon my spelling...

ReplyDeleteI have been following your visit to the UK with interest. We've been back there 6 times in the last few years.
ReplyDeleteThere is a tendency to make jokes (at least by the French) about the British and their fish'n'chips. However, it can be REALLY good!
ReplyDeleteWere the fish and chips as delicious as they look?
ReplyDeleteThere is a big Dutch influence through East Anglia and in Colchester (where I was brought up) there is a Dutch Quarter. It is because of the escape of the Hugenots when they were being persecuted. They fled to England.
Love that part of the Country, had my first holiday alone with a mate and we camped at Sherringham near Cromer when we were 15 (all that cider! hic!)
ReplyDeletehappy pancake day!
