The weather is getting hotter

The food at the second hotel is at least as good as the first one - better in some respects because its more like normal food and less pretentious. The room still looks like a market stall but as things get dirty and go into plastic bags it will improve.
The first stop was at the North Norfolk railway (there's a theme going on here somehow) but this was very brief - just long enough for TSH to be given a private tour of the sheds and works. The main stop was at Sheringham Park - not Diva's favourite NT property because it positively encourages  dogs and allows them off the lead in most areas. So the walk was not as anxiety-free as those round most NT properties. The estate was landscaped by Repton, although there have been many alterations since, including a spectacular display of rhododendrons. The house is still in private hands and not open to the public.
A very short stop in Cromer brought the outing to a close.
