So yesterday was our wedding anniversary - Liz, Steph and families are now all in Holland - so it was a day by ourselves. We began early with a celebratory breakfast at The Goat Shed
That was really good, then we filled up the car with fuel, and bought an M&S Dine In Meal for the evening. [We had a cool bag with ice packs in the car all ready]
Bob said he'd like to go to Cromer...so off we went. Peregrination means wandering and comes from the same root as pilgrims. Being good pilgrims, we parked in a blue badge space behind the big Parish Church.
And discovered we were right next to the Peregrine Project which is a well-supported local charity
A team of enthusiastic volunteers have three telescopes focussed on the church tower, and I was able to watch Poppy, the mother bird, perching on one of the buttresses. They also have a
live stream and youtube videos available to watch - this pair have been here since 2019. Utterly fascinating
This little one is just about ready to leave the nest now. The PP volunteers talked about the territorial nature of these birds - and how there is another pair living on top of Norwich Cathedral. After a good chat, we had elevenses at
Art House Café , our favourite place for a good coffee in Cromer.
We strolled down the Pier in the sunshine.
My new dress was cool and comfortable
but its cute pearl buttons are a little bit too small, and whenever I put my bag across my body, the strap pushed them open. I shall have to add a couple more hook&eyes at bust level. We shared a portion of chips, mooched round a few CS and then drove home. What a lovely day!
The family have arrived safely in The Netherlands too. All is good!

What a lovely day out together
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sunny day, full of love and laughter . We are truly blessed
DeleteSounds like a lovely day and a very nice way to celebrate your anniversary. The dress looks good on you; too bad about the buttons, but, you'll soon have that fixed. Glad that the family arrived safely at their destination. :)
ReplyDeleteI sewed the ex5ra H&E on in the evening. Much more secure now
DeleteWhat a nice relaxing way to spend your special day.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely
DeleteThat looked a wonderful day out on your anniversary. I like Cromer very much. Interesting about the Peregrines. M&S Dine In meals are really quite good we think and great not having to cook. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteYes, we got the roast in a bag chicken. It was huge, says "serves 6" but I plan to get way more than that out of it!
DeleteSo nice to spend a special day together. The dress looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteAh, this sounds a glorious day of peregrination! I am glad you enjoyed yourselves! What did you have for breakfast in the cafe?
ReplyDeleteCBC and I had a wonderful time at Embleton Way yesterday. It was so good for us to enjoy the sea air together and a lovely walk too as well as gongoozling on the beach!
I had bacon bap plus hash browns. Bob had the GOAT English breakfast [Greatest of all Time] which includes everything
DeleteA perfect day to celebrate a long and happy marriage. Your dress looked lovely and cool and you look very summer chic in it with your big hat. Bob is looking well too. Hope you enjoyed your dine in meal-I usually find it does two meals with some added veg. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThank you. We shall be dining on chicken all week
