Hello - camping was lovely, wild rolling marsh and hardly anyone on the beach which is amazing in the summer holidays. I know a lot of people don't want to walk for an hour over muddy marsh to get there but it's beautiful when you do, lots of warm creeks and shell banks.
And yes, we 'gathered seaweed'. We all love samphire.
Our van is the scruffiest on the site. Everyone seems to have posh VWs or smart outwell tents there these days. DD made a friend and she said, when I first saw your van I thought you were gypsies, lol, then she said because inside it looks so homely and I laughed as she had really paused between the two things and it sounded funny.
Avi - my ost always says rest but don't sit still for too long which I always think sounds weird. I take it to mean don't do hard work like digging and carrying but keep moving and walk a lot. Sorry your back is still hurting.
Franny - I have not had a chocolate eclair for years and I sort of fancy one now. I don't really like cream cakes, filling it with cream seems a waste of calories to me when its the cake part I like. I like cream on some things, like hot choc but I prefer butter on a scone or yoghurt with strawberries.
Anyway we are going camping again somewhere else on wednesday, waxham prob. I am enjoying being outside. This one couldn't be closer to the sea, the tents camp beind the dunes so its the opposite. More loud and druggie crowd though but you can avoid it, sort of.
Have eaten dreadful things like pie and bread and beer and things like cinnamon grahams but walking so much has helped a gain.
Sorry, rambling post. Going to make eggy bread.
