First visit to Snettisham last week, and although it was quiet on the day, I can see why people rave about it.

I’ve always loved these traditional beach houses at Heacham, Norfolk. And with it being a Sunday, and this one looking a bit like a chapel, it seemed appropriate to post :)

Pic taken last week, as the sun momentarily peaked through after a rain storm.

Had a great break thanks. We usually stay at Heacham for a week in Feb, and it’s always risky what the weather will be like, but apart from a couple of days we’ve been very lucky. It’s definitely blown away the cobwebs!

Many thanks for connecting :)

Many thanks Rob - great shot too. We’re so lucky to live so close, and no matter how many times we’ve been, it still has that wow factor. Hope you both enjoy your visit on the 20th.

Another pic of the seals at Donna Nook, from a few days s ago.

Donna Nook is home to a colony of grey seals during the winter months where they come onto the Lincolnshire beaches to breed.
