A busy Week

I have been all over the place this week

literally.

The week began in Kent with a close friend

who has just lost his beautiful wife to that

awful disease that seems to be taking so

many of our friends at the moment.

48 is no age to die.

Wednesday was spent with my cousin who was in Norfolk

on holiday from the Peak District.

It was a lovely day which was just what was needed.

We both talk for England when we are together

so we sat on Wells -Next -Sea beach for hours

just chatting and eating our picnic.

Wells has the most fantastic beach huts which 

cost a fortune but look amazing. 

Most definitely on my wish list.

The tide was out and it is very low at the moment

so it was just miles and miles of sand  

and very few people at this end.

At the back of the beach is the dunes

and the pine forrest behind them. 

On a hot day this was the best place to sit for our picnic.

Thursday Mr T and I went to West Norfolk for a couple of days.

We had a lovely relaxing couple of days

and a good ole poke about the shops in Hunstanton

which we usually call Sunny ~Hunny but was anything 

but sunny.

 We saw some interesting things though the sign above 

I love and neither of us had ever seen a car like this

before.

Then tuck in the back of the shops I found

K&K who do wonderful things with quilts.

They also hire out long arm quilting machines.

This quilt was hung on the wall and really caught my eye.

 The machine embroidery acts as the quilting

and is really different.

The colours suit the figures brilliantly and these 

are on the back as well as the front.

A real work of art.

These two ladies were there to use the machine

on their quilts.

One day I will make a quilt like this.

I then went to the fabric shop around the corner

which is jammed packed with loads of 

fabrics for quilting and crafting but not much

for dressmaking which is what I was looking for.

I still came away with some bits and pieces though of course.

Saturday was a trip to Morston Quay for coffee and a walk with the dogs.

This is where the seal boats go from.

These take you out to Blakeney Point

where the seal colonies live and it's a lovely trip

although a little chilly at times.

It's also a sailing magnet which a lot of the North Norfolk

 coast is , so there is lines of little boats everywhere.

Although this is the one Mr T fancied.

Having worn the dogs out and

 had our ice cream it was time to go home.

Today my cousin from Oz is coming to stay for a couple of days 

which I'm really excited about.

So another busy week ahead.

Hope you have a good week.
