Our first stop of the day was at Tesco for a re-stock of goodies and then we were heading for Wroxham as we wanted to buy a few bits for Crocus. Norfolk is the only place that we can buy a mudweight and rhond anchors ...
With a 10kg weight to carry back to the RV we had a short stop by the bridge and a photo chance …
as I always seem to take photos from the other side. We then drove to Barton Turf as Mike wanted to have a word with Eric the owner of
Cox’s Yard where we bought Crocus from and hope to return her there when she’s ready for the water. We reminded him that he’d promised us a mooring! Mick and Gilly’s boat had a fresh coat of antifoul on her and she was looking very smart …
No doubt she’ll be back afloat very soon. After leaving Barton Turf we made our way over to the coast and parked at Sea Palling. Following a sandwich for lunch we took Hamish for a run on the beach …
There was a cool breeze but it was lovely and sunny and we had a great walk. We turned round when we reached these rocks …
and watched a jet skier having fun …
We then re-traced our route back to Stalham and parked on the Staithe so that we could walk to St Mary Church where my great great great grandparents Jacob Southgate and Elizabeth Salmon were married in 1796. I have visited it before when grave hunting but hadn’t been inside. It was beautiful …
I still couldn’t find any Southgate graves but I did find some Salmon ones which may be connected after a bit more investigation when I return home …
We then drove back to the campsite passing over the River Yare on the way …
