Off we go?

Have you been anywhere nice lately? For the last 18 months we’ve stayed very close to home, only venturing to Norwich and the occasional trip to a National Trust property. We are very lucky to live on the Suffolk coast – we have plenty of fresh air for bracing walks and ships to watch, both large and small, as well as endless skies. But last week we took a quick trip northwards, clocking up 600 miles in just two days. It was an incredible trip culminating in beautiful views of the North York Moors and hills! We don’t really have any of those here and I’d forgotten how spectacular a hill can be. Our reason for travelling wasn’t the happiest but it was certainly worth it and it really whetted my appetite for planning another trip to the not-so-frozen north when we can do so. And now with the relaxation of travel restrictions there will no doubt be a “cork out of the bottle” reaction amongst some people with holidays planned far and wide. I can only hope this won’t lead to another “wave” in the winter. Fingers crossed!
