Holkham beach - wide, clean sands and and blue sky |
I remember playing frisbee on Holkham beach and I
remember an amazing meal in a pub just across the coast road. I remember going
bird watching there with friends at 6:00 o'clock one morning (a truly bizarre time to be out
and about if you don't have to, if you ask me). I remember being dropped off at
Wells-next-the-Sea one morning and spending the whole day walking around the reserve without
seeing a single other person until I walked into the pub at the end of the day.
I remember getting sunburned on the beach on one occasion, while we could see some
awful thunderstorms just inland - we drove home through the most torrential
rain. I remember the hot, Mediterranean, scent of the fir trees behind the
dunes that same day.
Norfolk is my favourite English county, and Holkham is definitely my favourite beach anywhere. Even on a hot day with lots of visitors there, I took this photo and there's not a living soul in it. It just so brings back memories of special times at a wonderful place. It's been my wallpaper for ages and I've no intention of changing it just yet.
