From London via Nottingham, Scarborough and living in a motorhome now settled in beautiful Cromer on the North Norfolk Coast

What a lovely evening at the opening night of the famous Summer Show on the iconic Cromer Pier & Pavilion Theatre.

A hugely talented and hard-working cast, clever production and a truly amazing atmosphere.

@UplandsSwansea As if. Keep telling myself that but still want one

Just seen a £50 Toblerone in Morrisons!

The big question is how would you eat it?

[Tony Bates @babblingbates]

@AndrewBrazier1 Maybe…

[Tony Bates @babblingbates]

@longtimeowl Good advice!

[Tony Bates @babblingbates]

@UplandsSwansea It was very tempting

[Tony Bates @babblingbates]

@Britanngill Didn’t notice one but fair point

[Tony Bates @babblingbates]

@UplandsSwansea Love the vision of cutting it with a bread knife, think I want one now

@TractorWalking @WeatherAisling @ChrisPage90 @StormHour @metoffice Wow!

[Tony Bates @babblingbates]

Still enjoying exploring the local area. Hopped on the train yesterday for a 15 minute ride to North Walsham. A decent pint in the Peasants Tavern, amazing tapas platter at Shambles Bistro then a pint outside the welcoming Hop Inn micro. The perfect evening, we’ll be back

Away from the throngs in Cromer and Sheringham, a refreshing breeze at the coast path overlooking the twinkling sea under endless blue skies at Overstrand this afternoon… @WeatherAisling @ChrisPage90 @StormHour @metoffice #loveukweather #Norfolk #Overstrand

Didn’t expect to see a pheasant in the garden this afternoon

This old cigarette packet was found under the kitchen floorboards which, after research seems to date from the 1940’s.

And, of course, made in Nottingham.

We had another amazing meal yesterday evening at No1 Cromer, set in a stunning location overlooking the pier.

An extensive menu (not all fish), first class service and really tasty food with generous portions.

The mild climate and quiet streets make Cromer a great place to visit in winter

We had a lovely visit to Aldeburgh on the Suffolk coast yesterday, such a beautiful little place and home to composer Benjamin Britten.
