Hunstanton
I’ve decided to grace Hunstanton with a visit for a week tomorrow,the weather is sh1t but it’s gonna be better than sitting in Nottingham getting bored stiff,I’m presuming that you’ve been lots of times before Frank as it’s only 90 mins away from you so can you recommend any places of interest to visit?
On the way back I’m calling in at Cambridge so if one day the black clouds close in,thunder and lightning light up the skies you will know that I’ve arrived,or it could be just another sh1t day you decide, apart from the Round church and Parker’s Place I will visit the house of your birth,I’m presuming that there will be a blue plague on the side of some terrace house somewhere celebrating your entry into the world?

That made me laugh, blue plague. I like Hunstanton, i used to go there as a child, they sold the Cambridge News on the beach, the sea is only ten inches deep well out into the middle, you can see Skeggy on a clear day.
Ive been there this year and went to Holkham Hall, five stars there. Its an old country house still as it was centuries ago. Its surrounded by vast greenlands and forests, and i wanted to take a bike ride round, you can hire bikes, the forests are like from Bilbo Baggins thing, ancient vast, old. Madam wasnt up to it though.
Highly reccommended. North Norfolk villages are delightul, there are road signs from 1953, and fish restaurants to die for. North Norfolk is yet another place i could live. In Hunstanton there is the Waterside bar, good basic food , and a high class chippie sit down towards the middle, cant remember its name.
Even more good news, it has a theatre and the biggest joke shop in britain, in the middle. Countless arcades where i do put tuppences into the shove a penny thing. There is a fair and rides around the bay on a boat, well worth a visit. Further down there is a plaque where St Edmund landed, a german baron who ruled anglia. Wells Cromer and Yarmouth are further on on the coast road.

It’s been ages since I visited there and can remember very little about the place so it will be like visiting somewhere new,is there also a Little Hunstanton or similar? I’m pretty sure that I also visited a place by the sea that was named after the person who built it but my memory is very sketchy on this,it was somewhere near Cromer I think,beautiful beaches along there Frank
