Although it was a wet misty morning to walk the dog yesterday, the curlews were calling all around me. They were on the moors with the grouse lapwings and golden plovers and in the farmer's fields all around us.

It won't be long before all their chicks will be running round in the fields and heather.

If you are staying at the Cake Store a beautiful cove to visit is Saltwick Bay. It's a steep walk down with steps and low tide is the best time to see it all - shipwrecks, fossils, waders, and rock pools

Also our daughter sells her weaving in St Peter's Church Hall
