Hunstanton

At the beginning of May, Amanda, Sid and I had a day out to Hunstanton. Because we knew we'd be looking around shops as well as exploring the beach, I decided to leave Finn at home. He's fab while running around off the lead but gets a bit annoying in busy places when on the lead.

We walked from the centre of Hunstanton along the prom and then along the cliffs to get down to the golf course and the sand dunes. It was too stony on the beach for poor old Sid's feet, which is why we stuck to the springy turf along the top.

At the golf course end of the beach is a sweet little cafe - dog friendly inside and out - and we wanted to sit outside as we wanted to soak up the sunshine while we could!

After coffee and cake - yum! - we headed off to the sand dunes which were pretty much deserted - just how we like it. Such a gorgeous beach although absolutely heaving in high summer, of course.

Sid got right into his stride and led the way for us!

I love this picture - where Sid went, we followed!  He had obviously decided he'd had enough of the beach by then!

So beautiful and so lovely when there's not so many people around.

Sid then led us to Old Hunstanton and inland a bit round the back of the golf course, while Amanda and I ooh'ed and aah'ed about all the houses we fancied!  There were lots!

After our walk back to the centre of town, all our time was taken up with shopping and wandering aimlessly looking for the fabric shop we had read about - and we weren't disappointed.  Merely disappointed in the amount of choice, meaning we couldn't decide what to buy.  That doesn't happen very often! Oh, and also chips on the seafront proved a bit of a distraction too.

A really lovely day - I don't know why we don't go to Sunny Hunny more often - I think that might be remedied quite a bit from now on!
