Yesterday
The weather men were wrong. Yesterday was stunning blue skies, so after our walk we met the Goulds in Huntstanton. Smashing pootle about under the multi coloured cliffs and dependant on people's poison - either an ice cream, hot dog or donut. Or any combination of the above. A lovely drive to the Gould's abode - spying many a good pub - and back to Hunstanton to collect a Chinese for the Chamption's League Final.
I was the most grateful man in Britain that it didn't go to extra time. All that sea air and activity knocked me out. Had a great hours sleep until awoken by fireworks. Who knows what was going on there.
Today's Walk
By royal appointment, we are off to Sandringham to see the Queen. We have the Goulds for company and Molly and Ollie get to team up for canine high jinks. Which mainly involves muddy puddles and potential fox poo.
Nice 6 mile drive through the back roads and we park up (free - the Queen doesn't charge). We head out into the woods for the start of the walk, occasionally meeting up with other dog walkers on the paths.
The ladies stop to admire a nice bush. Mark names it, but even though I can remember it, I cannot spell it.

You really are a bad dog |
We move back onto the paths and then the map shows something called "Folly Hang". Turns out to be a platform that makes a great spot for the team photo of the day.
Happy Ramblers |
The plan was to walk around the Gardens and check out the Church and ornamental lakes. I wasn't sure whether the grounds would be chargeable or not, but in any event, we were thwarted by the fact that the Queen doesn't rise until 11am in the summer. The gates are all padlocked up.
Like all great English travellers, we meet this adversity head on. We go and have a nice cup of tea.
