An Optimistic Camping Weekend, Waxham Sands, Norfolk - 22nd September 2018
It's the last camping outing for the van for the season, and we're at Waxham Sands - the camp site out of the 1980s or earlier but which is in a prime spot on the edge of the dunes on the east Norfolk coast - where it's also the campsite's last weekend of the year. It's not exactly tropical as the wind has moved around to the north west, but we battle through it and get a nice day on the beach and a few beers in the Nelson Head at Horsey. Sunday's a wash-out though, so we leg it early after breakfast.

Clive peeps out from his caravan bedroom
Ben the dog looks folornly out of the back of a car
Chris stumps off into the dunes
Absolutely classic 1980s camping toilet block
It's chilly at breakfast
Part of our camping commune
We head off into the dunes
Isobel and the boys head off to the beach
Harry's got a body board
Harry and Fred pose in their Tesco wetsuits
There's a massive bear print on the beach
Harry drags his board around
The almost-empty beach at Waxham
Isobel looks around
Fred practices a bit of body boarding
Harry digs a boat out of the sand
Harry's sand boat takes shape
Harry draws a massive line in the sand
Our pile of beach bags and guff
Harry's digging more holes
Harry's spade-based artwork is complete
The back of the campsite shop
There's some device action in the van
A flock of geese practice their migration patterns
Isobel gets the tea on
There are still a few people around camping
Sea thistle
A caravan gets towed away for the winter
Sophie and Fred have got blue tongues
Grace gives the hairy eyeball
Time for tea in the Nelson Head pub at Horsey
The children crowd round someone's device
In the pub car park
The Nelson Head
A derelict barn
There's a herd of deer in a field at Horsey Gap
A couple of stags
Isobel takes a photo of the deer
Fred and Isobel cycle back - Harry gets a lift
Welcome to the 1980s
The beach in the dusk
Fred hangs over a fence and watches the sea
The children kick sand over the sea wall
Ships on the horizon as we look out to a dark sea
Isobel walks past with a toch
It's nearly Fred's birthday, so there's cake
Fred's various birthday cakes
Hint: you can use the left and right cursor keys to navigate between albums, and between photos when in the photo viewer
