I remember being horrified to read in a National newspaper a few years ago that Holkham Beach was one of Norfolk's best kept secrets. Well, unfortunately, it was until then.
Last time I was in Bath was when my daughter was doing her PhD and I visited often in the 90's for other things too. Under normal circumstances it was always very crowded, so what it is like now with all these 'visitors' I dread to think @BRSBRIWith the forum stalling and causing me heartache, let me repost the message I was writing
Mrs BRS has also ordered a dishwasher today but as I flooded the kitchen in our last place, the only tool was me - she'd be delighted to embarrass me with the full nightmare on Elm St saga. @Muddy Cyclist
@gennepher - I hear you ...Bath's sunny spring like day brought hordes onto the streets...and I saw 2 nice young PCs handing out covid violation tickets to a group from London. They did however oooh and ahhh over Arthur, the tart masquerading as a standard poodle!!
At least we can paint desolate and deserted places @Muddy CyclistThank you. I gave you an optimistic because with no one going abroad, or to the seaside or shopping centres I am afraid Little Britain is getting rather crowded, wilderness Is hard to find and be alone in.
Blimey @Krystyna23040 on the Mah Jong gameI love Suduko and Mah Jong and find them really relaxing but sometimes do wonder if I should be doing something more productive.
I have now got to level 306 on a new Mah Jong game I started not that long ago.
Great news about getting the jab next week @geefullgood evening all
4.7 today
a mild day but with a very brisk wind from the sea here so mr gee and I got our walk in early then did some garden tidying.
Tomorrow we go over to collect mum to take her to get her pension so I hope it stays dry
Mum says Katy isn't keen to go out in the garden today when it's really windy, she's fine with the soggy snowy ground but less so with the wind flapping her ears about
Phone call just before 5pm today from our Health Centre, I'm booked in for my jab next Tuesday morning
Hope your day is treating you well
@jjraak - great progress all round
@gennepher - selfie? very nicePopeye looks properly appreciative
@dunelm - A fine kingfisher and your always excellent bamboo, I do appreciate how you've managed that minimal but effective background
@BRSBRI - I suspect Katy would find Arthur a bit of a puzzle, kind of familiar but bigger... much bigger!(Katy is mum's little dog ).

@Muddy Cyclist - Splendid heathland painting. I especially love the way you have handled the colour through the landscapeand I look forward to the next A3 tree
I enjoyed your Purcell rendition thank you, there is something very satisfying about his measured cadence
art bit - have a windswept tree- based on a photo found online

I know some deserted beaches @dunelm @Krystyna23040Same with parts of Northumberland - oh no! What have I said!
This owl is absolutely fantastic @dunelmGood morning everyone from a day the does not know what it’s going to do here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of fish and chips on the beach yesterday came in at 6.2 this am - ouch - but yummy.
New tax code notice arrived in the post yesterday from the excise people - I know - it’s exciting stuff - fair takes your breath away. I need to go online, check and possibly amend what info they have - tax for smuggling rum and port sounds a bit harsh.
An owl today - A4 on rice paper - hope that everyone has a fabulous Friday, koffy time.

I was exceptionally slow in realising what the apple round your wrist meant @BRSBRIPhew! Well done. Thought you should win the Friday prize of a brand new Apple Watch Mark ½with that great FBG!
Happy Friday!

The idea of deserted beaches is appealing. The practicality of hauling all the needs of small children and old men miles from a car park and loo detracts massively. Super Landrover showroom (car park) at Holkham though - felt right at home. Wells is more practical.
I have done all that hauling and trekking in the past. Just find the nearest sand dune and dig a hole...The idea of deserted beaches is appealing.
