With that done we went for a breakfast in Cley at a place called Artemis Coffee shop I had Two Poached eggs on Sourdough Toast with Salmon and a Latte. Very nice it was.
So on to Holkham Hall which was also appropriate as I have many happy memories of holidays in North Norfolk with Mum and Dad. Curiously Rebecca and Stuart have never been.
One of the things I like about Holkham is the wildlife, there were lots of broods of various geese and ducks. The Barnacle Geese population has exploded I can remember seeing two there some years back now they are all over the place. Bizarrely we never saw a Canada goose!
The walled garden is being restored... and it really is coming on well!
Still work to do!
On my last visit I saw a Hummingbird Hawk Moth and today? :)
When I was a lad you get into the area around the fountain.... now you take a picture through the balustrade :)
OOH nice area to bring up the youngster!
And there was cricket in front of the house... how English!!

As you say Pete it is right that your mum and dad are together now and it is a lovely place for them to be. Thinking of you as it must have been very emotional for you at the weekend.
Holkham looks beautiful - we never visited on our last two visits but perhaps next time. We won't mention the hummingbird hawkmoth :) but have to say well done and you have beat me again. Clouded Yellow next? :) or what about Purple Emperor - I might have more luck there! :)
