Day out at last

Finally managed to get a day out! Snettisham nature reserve (RSPB/local anglers club) is a series of lagoons formed when they took stuff out in the 1940s to build airfields and then filled, and almost destroyed by the 1953 flooding of the east coast. 

It was a lovely walk along the footpaths sheltered by high bushes of blackberries, willow and lots of berried bushes round the rare brine lakes.

The somewhat shanty town holiday homes along Beach road between the lagoons and seaside (The Wash) are fascinating. Such a mix of caravans, modern square shapes and 1950s bungalows. By the time we had done the mile or so and got up over the sea bank the tide was well out leaving a lovely pattern on the shore!

A quick cup of tea and picnic before coming home against all the traffic rushing for a weekend at the north Norfolk coast. Nearly uneventfully. Managed to stall the car trying to pull off the carriage way to make room for a blue lit ambulance and thereby upset the car engine that started flashing a warning light. Stopped at B & Q to pick up something and after that the warning went off and the car seemed OK. Lets hope so.
