Belton House. Biggest adventure playground ever. Seriously. You start at one end with the seesaw which pumps water for a splash pad, and go past the treehouse and rope bridges, and cross over the miniature railway, and discover the giant glockenspiel and spinning wheel, and hop over some stepping stones, and it still goes on. We gave up and had lunch without ever finding the end, and went off to draw pictures in the beautiful gardens instead. And that was only a short stop on the way to the real holiday in Norfolk. We were headed to a little house in Heacham, just a few minutes from the beach. It was a bit cool and breezy that first evening, but you've got to paddle and dig, haven't you? The sun set beautifully over the sea, and we tucked Toby and Theo up into their bunk bed - which according to them, was the best bit of the whole holiday. The next day we got a perfect beach day. We drove to Wells-next-the-Sea, where the sea was so far away
Getting through life one cake at a time.
