Weekend in Norfolk with Lev and Sarah

About a year late, we were finally able to go and visit Lev and Sarah in Kirby Cane. We were extremely lucky with the weather given the forecast, which meant we were able to get out for walks on both days. We went for a curry in Beccles on Friday night, on Saturday a walk to The Artichoke in Broome for lunch followed by dinner in The Wherry. On Sunday we took a longer way home through lots of small villages before stopping off for a snack at The Duck Pond in Margaretting, watching a mum with 9 ducklings swimming around.

A few photos are below, the rest are here:

Docklands walk with Liv and Richard

We went for a long walk with Liv in Richard down to Canary Wharf. We started at Liverpool Street walking through Leadenhall Market and St. Katherine's Dock towards the Thames Path. It was a hot day, but very pleasant including a stop off for lunch in The Captain Kidd.

Day out with Mum and Dad at The Poppy Pantry

We went over to The Poppy Pantry at The City of London Cemetery for lunch and an ice cream since the weather was (finally) so good. We then took a bit of a drive around Wanstead before sitting in our garden for a couple of hours before we took them home.

 

Hereford v Hornchurch FA Trophy Final at Wembley

This was it, the big day at Wembley as Hornchurch took on Hereford in the FA Trophy Final. We first of all met up at The Lamb in Leadenhall Market before setting off to Wembley. After a great game, Hornchurch won 3-1! Russell headed off to the after match party back at the club House, while the rest of us went back into London to try and Find a pub we could easily get 8 people into. Walking away from the crowded Liverpool Street area we were lucky to find the City Bar and Kitchen and spent a few hours there before heading home. A few photos are below, the rest (including some professional ones I've used as a scrap book) are here:

Blustery walk over Valentine's Park

With a storm arriving this afternoon, we decided to take a shorter walk today. This time just to Valentine's Park for lunch at the Gardener's Cottage Cafe, and a look at the cygnets.

 

Day out to Stratford, River Lea and Victoria Park

For our last day out, we stayed more local. Jumping on a tube to Stratford and the Olympic Park before walking through to the Capital Ring path along the River Lea. We stopped for a coffee at the Milk Float before heading Northwards towards Hackney Marshes. After turning back, we were hoping to have lunch on the river, but everywhere was a bit busy. So instead we headed off along another part of the Lea and walked through Victoria Park for a very nice lunch at The Hub. We walked back through the cycling area of the Olympic Park back to Leyton before getting a tube home.
