We both fulfilled a long standing wish to stay at the Victoria Hotel in Holkham. Travelled up on Tue July 21st, stayed overnight and came back on Wed. As brilliant as it looks.

Walked on beach Tue PM with meal in the restaurant on Tue evening. Went well until my conversation clearly became too boring and Alice dropped off….actually not that funny as Alice fainted briefly I caught her and she came round after a few seconds. Alice was particularly annoyed as she was going to have desert for a change!

Run on beach Wed AM which I have to say is possibly the most wonderful run I have experienced (and that is over 35 years). The beach was empty apart from me, breathtaking. Just wish Alice as with me, life is about sharing those moment with the one you love. it will happen.

Walk around the grounds and headed home.
