Natural Surroundings

Today mostly consisted of eating!!
The Little Misses were off on their bikes as soon as the sun rose, getting their breakfast, buying tat in the shop and riding round. 
Mr K and I had special treat holiday chocolate cereal and took Archie for his usual morning walk round the heath. So beautiful (see extras)
Then it was off to the fabulous Back to the Garden for lunch. We love it there!!!
Miss L had gammon, egg and chips and it was, without a doubt, the biggest slab of gammon I've ever seen. With two enormous duck eggs. A grown man would have had a job to eat half of it!! 
I had a crayfish, lemon mayo and rocket sandwich, Mr K and Miss E had fish and chips. All delicious!
We winched ourselves back into Marshall and set off to Natural Surroundings in Glandford. They like odd names for eating establishments round here!
We tried a few times to get there when we were up here in February but we kept failing. Today was the day.
Very unusually we couldn't find room for even a titchy slice of cake so we had a lovely wander round the plant nursery and the pretty gardens. They had a pond for the Little Misses to pond-dip in, so many birds on so many feeders and a shed full of field mice which are there as part of a breeding programme. So cute!!
I bought a bird feeder and some seed and then we carried on down the road to Cley Spy, a binocular shop (the name makes sense when you know that Cley is pronounced Cly!)
After about an hour and a half of trying all the binoculars I felt incredibly sick. Who knew, binoculars give you motion sickness!! I took Archie off for a walk round the fields while Mr K and the Little Misses finished choosing. Decent ones for us and cheaper ones for them.
Then, feeling a bit better, we went next door to the lovely Art Cafe and had tea, lemonade and cake. Delicious!
Leaving Mr K and the Little Misses to finish up I walked down to the church to have a look around. It was lovely - old and smelling of furniture polish.
In the graveyard there was a war grave which was sad. RAF Squadron Leader Stan Kellow died in a plane crash nearby on June 5th 1944 - the day before D-Day. His son was buried there too, he was born in 1944 and I wonder if Stan got to meet him.
