The Boss had ordered some smoked fish from the Staithe Smokehouse so on Friday morning we set off on our lowest journey since lockdown began. An hour and ten minutes each way right across the roof of Norfolk to Brancaster Staithe, it was enough to make us dizzy.
We parked in an empty Car Park at the White Horse and collected our treat: cold smoked haddock, salmon, scallops and some salmon mousse before wandering down the the car park to the edge of the salt marshes and enjoy the totally people free view and the tang of salt air, there were few squalls out to sea but the sun kept shining. Another treat and free too. If you are in the area pay the smokery a visit, Phil produces a really high quality product.
On the return home we simply reversed the outward journey and just like the trip out there was little or no traffic and we were back in time to enjoy a runny fried egg sandwich made with sourdough bread for lunch.
Simple pleasures, we like that.
Stunning view that John.
