We've had a half a day at East Ruston Gardens in Norfolk and it was beautiful. They are "wilding" parts of it and it is great to see the wild versus the manicured bits. Himself, had his beemer and Bentley on display. Both looked lovely, particularly the soft top Bentley.

That is so true Mike, we had a short spell of time on Lindisfarne then went a short distance to Seahouses, small village with plenty of shops, fish and chips restaurant and a lot of boats taking trips to the islands a bit out of Seahouses.

When we visited Seahouses, we had the best fish and chips of our lives there! Yummy!

The Chain Bridge Honey farm was also a great visit (don't miss the cafe bus!)

Our Rod (Reworht) always recommended Trenchers at Whitby,they are very good as well.

Had some nice fish n chips a few years back at Robin Hoods Bay,an Olde Worlde shop up an alley at the bottom near the sea

Fish N Chips in Norfolk apart from a couple of shops get the thumbs down

Evening all,

Got back from three days up in Norfolk, a mixture of work and pleasure.......Not much rain

Had this lovely 1963 BSA Enduro Star to photograph on Saturday up in North Walsham. Great mechanical condition and just needing a little TLC with the frame and body panels.

Went out for a lovely cruise on Lady Emma Sunday morning. Went up to Potter Heigham. Nice to see the bridge has lost its scaffolding. Quick bacon butty and a box of fresh cream cakes from Latham's and it was back on board to meander back down the Thurne and Bure for a couple of pints at the Bridge Inn.

Then it was back to Acle to put Lady Emma back in her berth and a sprightly drive home to get back before the Canadian Grand Prix started.

Didn't see hardly any rain over the weekend until I was nearing Ipswich, then it was raining solidly all the way back to Clacton and through most of Sunday night.

Hot and sunny again today though!

Now going to catch up with missed posts and edit up some more pictures for work.
I'm on three photoshoots tomorrow, one dog and two motorbikes......Busy, Busy, Busy

Evening all.

Been a gorgeous day, not too hot with a cool breeze.

Been to the tip, then the garden centre.

Home and spent over 3 hours weeding the back garden.

Cleared a circular patch, used to be a pond and is plastic lined. Punched some drainage holes in and planted out some wild flowers to attract the bees and butterflies.

Roast chicken, spuds and green beans for tea.

Knackered now.

Banana still not home.

Morning all,

It was a rather sticky humid night and not a breath of wind!
Cloudy this morning and still feeling 'close'.

I'm doing a dog phtoshoot this morning.Then I'm in Ipswich late afternoon for a Car&Classic double photoshoot. A Triumph Tiger and another BSA. This one an A10 650

Hoping to get up to the boat again this weekend. It will be boat cleaning duties time.
The weekend after I'm at Brands Hatch for some historic touring cars action and the following weekend we will be (Clacton Camera Club) exhibiting at the Tendring Show again.
