Visit to Holt Country Park

A warm, sunny Sunday and we enjoyed a visit to the country park with its Hattie’s Tearoom…

A bright robin came looking for crumbs

Goof refreshments from the sweeet, little tea room,

Reunion!

A tearful but joyful reunion when we briefly met our old friend, Ade, after his excellent performance under his stage name, Harvey James, in the Summer Show at the Cromer Pier Theatre this afternoon. We look forward to catching up again when he returns for the Christmas show!

Good holiday break.

After a nice holiday we’re now back home and back on line.

One night at The Holiday Inn, Norwich prior to flying from Norwich Airport to Jersey

Back garden views of The Pontac House Hotel, St Clement, Jersey…

The main entrance, at the back off the car park.

Views from the front of the hotel…

Our bedroom with double and spare single bed.

The bar

Internal and Pavement service with appropriate music at The Blue Note Bar, alongside a popular Lotto kiosk in St. Helier.

A coach tour of the bays of Jersey gave us a better idea of the island and the places we wished to visit when we hired a car for five days.

In many places decorated statues of gorillas were on display to be sold to raise funds for the Zoo to improve and add to homes for real gorillas...

At Gorey Pier

"Florilla"  at St Catherine's Bay.

 An illustration of the Jersey cream 99 Ron fell in love with - the real ones melted too quickly in the hot sunshine!

 We enjoyed mostly good weather, with many hot, sunny days and only one reallybad one so counted ourselves very lucky.

We returned on Friday 13th (without incident !) and extended our holiday over the weekend with dinner at The Wheatsheaf that evening and a pleasant afternoon on Saturday watching "The Norfolk Broads", a female duo singing 40s music as part of thre 1940s weekend in Sheringham area.

On Sunday afternoon a drive through the local countryside which has as many narrow roads and lanes as on Jersey!
