How Cool is That?

Something I forgot to mention yesterday about our jaunt into the countryside while staying in Caister - we came across a farm shop with accommodation.

These little lodges (or hostels, as they were called) are made from silos. How cool is that?

A few more photos of our venture:

Above is the newest addition to the Caister Lifeboat Station's stable - the Bernard Matthews - being the fastest lifeboat in the UK. 

When I told Hay its name, she thought I'd said the Bernard Manning and said she could see those being rescued saying to the lifeboat crew; "It's OK, you can go on your way - we're perfectly alright and don't need rescuing."

And here is a photo if a bloke engaged in the age-old East Anglian art of arranging reeds on a roof in a speculative attempts at making said roof waterproof. Not sure why they don't use slates - much more waterproof and longer lasting too.

This is the water pump (windmill to you and me) at Horsey.

Here's a dead windmill:

And a modern one. A lot of people don't like them, but I love them. Might be my Dutch roots.

The place was crawling with dragonflies, whereas ours (which are more colourful) have all gone now.

And, lastly, Horsey Mere:

Oh, and here's Hay having an early morning swim with her beacon light hat, which she wears in case she gets swept out to sea. A helicopter might have a tough time spotting it, especially if she gets a ducking and the light phutts.
