A few days in Norfolk

We decided to take a few days away in Norfolk and booked a chalet on the Sundowner Park.
The chalet is pretty basic but has all mod cons.
However the wind has been gale force, so outside pursuits have been rather limited.
We took a trip to the Blickling Estate, now owned by the National Trust to admire the grounds which are in full bloom at this time of year.
Shelter walking through the tree lined avenues was most welcome.
The view of the lake and house through this bluebell lined avenue was breathtaking.

Rhododendrons of every colour were in full bloom

The scent from this Rhododendron was amazing

Such beautiful colours

Colours clashing but melding together for this beautiful display

This view made me want to take up painting!

Chris and another beautiful rhododendron

Lunch at The Ship, Mundesley on our way back completed a really nice day out.

Guess I should mention while here in Norfolk I visited The Lost Sheep wool shop in Rollesby twice! Such a nice shop with friendly owner and great selection of yarn. Also visited a wool shop in Kings Street Gt Yarmouth again twice! Better on the inside than it looks from the road.
