A beautiful morning in Sheringham! We got up early for a walk along the boardwalk, and breakfast at Whelk Coppers.
And now, a bunch of Morris dancing!!
Historical railways are pretty popular in the UK, with its extensive adoption of rail as a typical way people get around on a daily basis. We rode The North Norfolk Railway trains a couple of times during our stay — the route doesn’t go too far, but it’s a grand ride.
Walking into Christine’s entry hall, David noticed this lovely assemblage of old cigarette cards in a frame. And LO! Who should he spot but his great-aunt Suzanne Kaaren! We were gobsmacked. Christine had gotten this treasure in the early 1990’s at an antiques mart in Sheringham. Coincidence, serendipity, what you will — pretty extraordinary.
Fabulous Sheringham Day! The Morris Dancing festival was such a revelation — I’d seen lots of Morris in my day, but never the sheer creativity of the costumery as at this festival! I really had no idea, most of the troupes I’ve seen are pretty traditional. The music and basic dancing is the same, though, they sure don’t mess with that!
