Blickling Estate springtime gardens


What an incredibly beautiful springtime day. This Jacobean Hall was once home to the Boylen family - and yes, Anne lived here, but only for a short time.

The landscape, with its narrow hedges and tree lined lanes, woodlands and red brick buildings  has not changed much over the centuries.  The formal gardens make way into expansive fields, now bursting with flowers.

We took advantage of the sunshine to play some croquet on the lawns and chill and read a book amongst the flowers. There were plenty of beautiful nooks to hide away from others.

Great Yarmouth Sealife Centre

A bit of a relaxed day today - off at Great Yarmouth ( a seaside resort closeby) to visit the Sealife Centre.


How cool are these?  Nope, I didn't know about them either..
Moon Jellyfish. They can only be seen under fluro lights - otherwise they are transparent.


Tiny Seahorses galloping around the fishtank


Morgan and Lilly playing round in the fishtank. ( there were plenty of hand on activities and places the kids could pretend that they were in the tanks with fish)
