Harry's pasta is apparently 'too spicy'
Horsey Seals and Sea Palling, Norfolk Coast - 2nd January 2017
A trip to Horsey to see the seals had been on the cards for Boxing Day, and perhaps it wouldn't have been quite as heaving if it had happened then, as it turns out that this is the day that the world and its dog decides to visit. It's made a bit worse by the fact the the beach is sealed off to protect the seal pups, and so the crowds are all coralled through a short roped-off section along the beach and back. Despite that, it's still nice to see some seal pups, but we still have a hankering to roam on the beach and so head up first to Waxham Sands campsite, where the beach is still fenced off, before ending up in Sea Palling, a couple of miles further up the coast.

We're on the path to the beach
We follow the herds up to the top of the dunes
Crowds as far as the eye can see
There's a bit of a rainbow out to sea
A seal pup lolls on the beach
Another seal rolls around
Crowds mill around
A pillbox in the rain
Isobel just misses the end of the rainbow
Another seal pup sleeps in the pill box
People on the clifftop
The pillbox perched on the clifftop
Harry and Fred jump around
Isobel reads about the Horsey grey seals
A belt of rain sweeps over the sun
A bush in the dunes clings on to its autumn leaves
Happiness, seal style
The rainbow's still around
The car park is packed
Harry and Fred on the dunes
A lifeguard lookout at Sea Palling
Harry runs up into the dunes
Sea Palling
A danger sign is consumed by sand
A group of people on the beach
Harry and Fred
Big skies over the beach
Harry roams the beach
The boys mess around in a mini river on the beach
The boys on the beach as the sun goes down
Fred looks into the stream
Walking down towards the café in Sea Palling
The Sandy Hills Snack Bar
Looking back towards the sea
Fred is mesmerised by the 2p slide machines
It's a regular Aladdin's cave
Isobel feeds a machine
A display of mini tin dioramas
Harry and Isobel roam around in the dark
We walk back to the car park
An empty fish and chip shop
