Great Yarmouth



Back to The Imperial at Great Yarmouth. This time for three nights Sat 14 - Tuesday 17th July, staying in the Ruinart Room,  to visit some museums for research. 

The weather was gloriously warm with clear skies.

Super steak in Cafe Cru restaurant with a glass of house Champagne and a bottle of wonderful Rhebokskloof 2015 Pinotage.


Sunday morning at the Museum of Norfolk Broads at Stalham. 

Then a short drive to East Ruston Old Vicarage Gardens (which we failed to find several times: note to use instruction and map on website rather than sat-nav or sign posts) for home made scones in the garden. 





















Alan Gray and Graham Robeson's House
 

There are lines of sight from the gardens; one to Happisburgh lighthouse, 1.5 miles away.



 
This pillbox is between the lighthouse and sea


So we went to Happisburg for sea air before heading back to the Imperial.

Monday we spent the morning at the Time and Tide Museum in Gt Yarmouth which has a terrific cafe where we had lunch before joining a guided tour to the  ruins of Greyfriars Cloisters.

We finished in the Elizabethan House, built in 1596. 

Unfortunately the Tolhouse Gaol was closed, so we will have to return...
On the walk back I saw for the very first time punnets of red gooseberries on sale. These are sweet dessert gooseberries.


Our last night we enjoyed battered Haddock and Chips in Cafe Cru with a bottle of Ruinart NV Champagne.
