Holiday!

If you're wondering why it's been so quiet on my blog recently the answer is I have been away on holiday!  I went back to the same place in North Norfolk that I visited last year and had a really lovely, relaxing break. :)
The holiday was the first chance I've had for testing out my new camera properly - and with a new 8Gb memory card I took a LOT of photos!!
There was a variety of wildlife around the lodge we stayed in - muntjac deer, rabbits, moor hens, ducks and on the last day a heron in the beck...
 
I found some fantastic little independent shops in places like Holt and Sheringham - which left me feeling very inspired.  I have lots of plans for the next few months - designing and making new work, planning my next craft fayre and adding new things to my shops - I just have to catch up on my emails and paper work first!

Summer Holiday!

My lack of blog posts recently is because I have been away on holiday to the North Norfolk coast :)  Our dry spell of weather ended, but despite having a rather wet week I really enjoyed the break.  I wish holidays didn't have to end!

I loved visiting the little towns and villages along the coast - they provided lots of inspiration for Hexley.  I thought I would share just a few photos from the hundreds I took...

The view from our holiday home...
we saw lots of wildlife from the holiday lodge - bats, moor hens, a wren, a family of ducks...
and even this muntjac deer...
Blakeney...
 
 Cromer... (it was sunny sometimes!)

 1930s lifeboat - reminded me of Hexley's D.O.R.A....
