Haven't been to Holkham yet but would love to.<BR/><BR/>Erica - thanks for visiting all the way from Edinburgh. It's funny, but I wish I could be in Edinburgh ;-D<BR/><BR/>Florries Mum ~ That sounds so idyllic. After what Picklesmum has also said, I think we need a visit to Holkham as well. I haven't yet seen Kingdom, but having now visited that area I think I'll watch the next series, even if it is just to annoy 21st C Dad with..."look...there's the Albatross boat", "look...that's the road to Burnham Market"...hee hee. BTW, did you know that the suits that Stephen Fry wears in the series were made by our very own Trotter & Dean.<BR/><BR/>Paul - lovely memories, what's really scary is that it won't be long until I'll be looking back 15 years and remembering our visits.<BR/>In fact, 21st C Dad and I were watching Coast last night, which covered East Anglia and featured Wells/Holkham, Southwold and Aldeburgh and although we've only lived here for 4 years, we've visited some of these places many times with the children. 21st C Dad may have to reconsider his work options in a couple of years time and we may end up moving out of the area. We were discussing last night how much we would miss the coast of East Anglia. Already it brings many happy memories.Her indoorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272166812296058326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34896057.post-68308075680616794082007-07-31T18:56:00.000+01:002007-07-31T18:56:00.000+01:00I took my four daughters there and stayed in a hou...I took my four daughters there and stayed in a house for a week about 15 years ago.

We spent the whole day walking on the beach up to Holkham, lying in the dunes, and paddling in the very warm pools left by the out-going tide-sheer bliss. They were filming the next series of Kingdom with Stephen Fry while we were there, which is what inspired me to visit in the first place-all those vistas of deserted beaches. Luckily the filming was in the town so we could enjoy the peace. Florrie loved it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34896057.post-12263782966637710062007-07-31T10:34:00.000+01:002007-07-31T10:34:00.000+01:00I definitely wish I was there :)Erica @ littlemumm...I definitely wish I was there :)<BR/><BR/>Erica @ littlemummy.comErica Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399571477792412237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34896057.post-69672348263471911342007-07-31T08:57:00.000+01:002007-07-31T08:57:00.000+01:00You were lucky to see the sea.
