On the Sunday of our trip we went to the beach! It was amazing! One of the things on my 'Forty one before 41' list was to swim wild with my aunt, so we decided this would happen while we were away, and it's one of the reasons that we decided to go to Norfolk.
We again all had breakfast separately. Neil and Rob and T set off to the beach earliest because they wanted to watch the lifeboat people practicing their manoeuvres or whatever. The rest of us travelled to the cliff top car park at about 11.30. It's not a long path down on to the beach. Beth and I chose a spot sort of in one dune and got set up. Everyone else arrived, we had a llittle tent for T so he wasn't too exposed to the sun. I had already put my swimming costume on underneath and I also put my Saltwater sandals on because they like being in the sea and I hadn't worn them yet this summer!
Neil, Caroline, Rob and I went in the sea! It was glorious! It genuinely wasn't that cold so we managed to get all the way in. The current was quite strong but it was just so lovely to be in the water. We got out a bit and had snacks with everyone else. I had taken my dressing gown so that I didn't get too cold because it's something that I struggle with and I just didn't want it to happen. As it was, I kept toasty warm and then we decided to back in the water! I couldn't have done that if I'd got cold.
We packed up about 1.30 and then Peter, Lee and I headed to the amusements to play for a bit. We had ice creams and played on the arcade games and then went to Tesco for a few bits we needed before heading back to the caravan. I had a shower and then I played the Rocky Horror game that I bought recently with my mum and Caroline. It was fun, it took a bit of working out but it was good fun.
The Belgian Grand Prix was on and all my family are into the Formula One, and this year Caroline and Neil have been making food to go with the locations of each Grand Prix, so we had to have Belgian food! So they had quiches and they walked along to buy chips for us. We had some of the tapas leftovers too. It was good fun!
Rob was going to make waffles - also Belgian - but the waffle maker tripped the electricity which was a bit of a problem. So he ended up making pancakes instead, with chocolate chips and cream. They were amazing! Lee and I walked along to the playground but there were kids in it so I thought I better not play on the swings, and instead we just sat at a table chatting for a little bit before heading back.
And that was Sunday!
