Day 4 - The Cottage

Today we enjoyed our first full day at the cottage. This dwelling is over 300 years old and was made for and by much shorter people, but it is absolutely charming. We woke up at a goodly hour and then started out for a day of sight-seeing about the country side. We see our first estate, much to Leslie's delight, called Holkham hall. Then we had a picnic by the sea. After that we went to another town where we got ice cream and immediately got caught in the rain. We held up in an old stone basement/ruin for a few minutes than decided to duck into a cafe before it got really bad, which it did as soon as we left the shelter in search of the cafe. Water damage was nill and the tea was perfect. I popped in and lifted up my head and realized: "I've been here before." Indeed I had when I'd been visiting seven years ago. We popped in and out of a few more little towns along the coast and then headed home for a nice dinner of fajitas and a walk in a beautiful nature reserve just outside the cottage. Then back home for some Cosby Show.
