Edinburgh

Yesterday we arrived at Edinburgh Caravan Club site. Raining, and Helen has a cold and cough!

Managed to do some washing and a quick visit to Morrisons for new supplies!

Farne Islands from Berwick

Today we got up early to go to the Farne Islands ...

We took the Bus to Berwick, and then the X18 to Seahouses past Bamburgh Castle. We had a late cooked breakfast, and then took the boat at 1230 to see the Gulls, Shags and Grey seals, returning on the bus at 1500. The sun was shining today!!

Clumber Park and Knaresborough

We set off to Clumber Park, stopping for fuel and M&S shopping at Junction 17 of the A1.

A night of rain, thunder and lightning, to Knaresborough. This is site is about 6 miles off the A1, and has a restaurant, The Wanderer, on site, where we ate for the evening... raining all afternoon, quite heavy!

and back home again! From Cromer

We had a good drive back, but it was very very hot! Went via Norwich Camping at Blofield, just a few bargains!!

Sheringham on a Sunday

Today we took the bus to Sheringham - the Beer Festival was still going on. We walked to see the raft race at midday, stopped off to get BBQ bits for the evening where we talked and ate with Alan and Phil who leave tomorrow.

Had a nice morning coffee at the Cottage tea place, and a nice soup and sandwiches for lunch.

Beer Festival at the North Norfolk Railway - Sheringham

Today we took the bus to and from the Beer Festival, and had a ride to Holt and back on the steam train. Had dinner with Alan and Phil at the campsite - started raining quite a bit at night!

Seacroft Cromer for the North Norfolk Railway and Beer Festival

It took us about 2 hours to drive here, stopping off at the new BP with M&S at Scole on the A140. Lots of space for the larger motorhome!

We are on a serviced pitch at Seacroft, and had a BBQ in the evening.

Home again! From Harwich ...

An early start on the ferry as we came into Harwich, but although we were amongst the last off, we were home easily by just after 8 am. Usual stoppage at the Copdock roundabout on the A12 by Tesco!

Waiting to leave - had to reverse out again!

Homeward bound!

Arriving at the Ferry ⛴ at Hoek van Holland

 Arrived just after 4.30 pm and are now in lame 1 for fall vehicles waiting for passport control to open.  The site let us wait on our pitch until 4 pm so we got last minute bargains and lunch in Ikea.

Delft Market

Today was a market day in Delft - we took a bus in and walked back. Saw the stalls in the main square, went to the flower part, bought some cheese and pies (which went into the small oven outside for dinner). We had lunch overlooking the main square and market, and also popped into AH Supermarket for some small bits!
