Every year some wonderful soul puts up a tiny Christmas tree, complete with baubles blowing around in the wind, on this old rowing boat by the bridge. We can see its little lights blinking at night from the top of Mariners Hill.

One of the joys of winter in Blakeney is to wake up early and find the coast path hard and crispy underfoot with frost and ice. This was taken on a walk from Blakeney to Morston and back, when the sun was just beginning to make its presence felt above the silhouette of Blakeney church.

Pedlars Barrow at West Runton hosts Norfolk’s Bear Rehoming Centre. Chester, our dog’s beloved bear, came from here a few years ago. This time we were looking for a special bear to give us a Christmas present…we found one called William, who will be going to a very good home! Take a look at the original Instagram post for more photos of Pedlars Barrow and its wonderful selection of toys and bears – a must visit if you’re shopping for children this Christmas…or not!

Get out while you can and enjoy it! We headed to the beach at West Runton for a walk at low tide.

We’re seeing the last of the colours around here, with a flurry of reds and golds before the trees show their bones for the winter. With the moon coming full, we can look out of the window and see the dark outlines of bare branches silhouetted against it.

It is a wonderful feeling to wake up at the Watch House on Blakeney Point, the smell of the wood fire from the night before lingering in the grate, and looking out at a golden morning in the harbour.
Here are some more photos and stories from our previous trips to the Watch House in 2016, 2015 and 2014.

The Staghorn Sumac tree we planted five years ago is performing its annual show, warming the courtyard with flaming orange and red as the weather cools.
