Wells-Next-the-Sea

Our friends the Houdes let us in on a little beach secret, Wells-Next-the-Sea, which is 1:45 from our home on the North Norfolk coast. The beaches are sandy and expansive when the tide is out (and I mean WAY out...walking to the sea takes some serious effort).

So we had a picnic on the sand, frolicked in the tide pools and flew our kite. We picked a day when we knew the weather couldn't be beat and were rewarded by a truly lovely day. We'll be back again soon, maybe for a three-day weekend. 

Making sand CASTLES takes on extra meaning here. Ours is fortified with razor clam shells.

The beach or the desert, you be the judge.
