Judith, Anna and I spent a few days at Gannets before Christmas. We really enjoyed the break -- the peace, quiet and beauty of North Norfolk -- but we did experience some unusual weather!
Unusual? Snow! I've never seen snow on the beach at Salthouse, nor the salt marshes frozen over. It was that cold. For several days we didn't really drive out. The coast road wasn't too bad so we went to Cley for food (Picnic Fayre and the smokehouse -- wonderful!) but didn't go further. When we thought it had got a little better, we ventured into Holt via Cley (we didn't try to climb Bard Hill straight out of Salthouse), which we found to be totally white and ungritted. Interesting driving, but gorgeous :). I've added some photographs to the "surrounding areas" album on Facebook (linked from the Gannets homepage) so do take a few minutes to marvel at the snow.
While we were there we did manage to take delivery of a new mattress for the double bed in bedroom 1. It's a new pocket-sprung mattress with lots of lovely padding. We had one night on it before having to leave. I hope our guests will really enjoy this added luxury!
That's all for now
Peter
