Still on Holiday!

Mum and I had a lovely walk this morning. We took Archie and Elsie on our usual walk round the heath but we took a different path towards the end and headed off into the woods. Unfortunately Elsie disappeared off on the trail of a deer (or a pheasant or a squirrel or a rabbit) and didn't come back. She often does this but usually isn't too long in coming back.
This time she was gone for about forty minutes. Mum went off looking for her, I waited on the path with Archie. Both of us shouting our heads off!
Eventually Elsie came running back. Looking a bit sheepish!!
My mum on the other hand had disappeared off the face of the earth. So I was yelling Mum at the top of my voice rather than Elsie!!
Eventually we were all reunited and joined by Mr K and the Little Misses who'd come to help search.
On the way back to the campers we stopped by the wildlife pond and hide which was really lovely! I could have sat there all day!
But we had to eat so while my parents headed off to the beach at Overstrand we went to the fabulous Back to the Garden farm shop and restaurant in Letheringsett. What a place!!! The best farm shop I've ever been to! And a delicious lunch. Yummy!!
We resisted buying all the pies to take with us but have made a mental note to call in for a few goodies on the way home on Saturday!
From there we headed a few miles away to Baconsthorpe Castle. The roads were getting smaller and smaller but Mr K was undaunted and we zoomed along!
Eventually the roads disappeared altogether and we followed a tiny handwritten sign down a farm track towards some barns, rattling our way over the cattle grids! Luckily beside the barns we could see the castle ruins so we knew we were in the right place!
Another fabulous discovery. I do love a castle with a moat! It was glorious in the sunshine.
From there, as it had been a few hours since we were in a deli, we headed back up to Clay to stock up on sausage rolls, pork pies, chicken and bacon pies, fruitcake, olives, sourdough bread and garlic pickle.
Just a light dinner for us then!!!!
