Our weekend at Grannies (in Cley-next-the-Sea)

ByRasa Pelham
Bright morning sky with a shining sun and handwritten text stating 'Early in the morning'.

Just came back from long and wonderful weekend in Cley-next-the-Sea. I brought back more pics than I could handle from this beautiful countryside.

A bowl of overnight porridge topped with blackberries and almond slices, accompanied by a cup of coffee on a patterned coaster.

Breakfast did not always look like this. I had a hearty fried breakfast Saturday & Sunday but tried this overnight porridge on my last morning there and I absolutely loved it! Granny cooks this porridge in a low temperature oven, which makes the porridge taste heavenly. I will be experimenting with this in my slow cooker as I have bought myself steel cut (pinhead) oats to try this out!

Going for a walk, beyond the Cley Windmill was breathtaking 🙂

A bag of spelt flour and another bag of flour, with some flour spilled on a dark surface.

Although Cley Windmill is no longer used for milling, we also visited Leatheringsett Watermill where I was able to get some flour. How exciting! So looking forward to baking with traditionally milled flour!

Walking through the Marshes is a must do in Cley-next-the-Sea!

We  walked  till Blakeley village…

A vintage bathtub faucet and a metal contraption displayed together, with wooden elements in the background.

… and loved the outdoor reclamation yard! Bath tap anyone?

A collection of various flower pots in different colors and sizes displayed together on a table.

And vintage & antique shops/fairs….

A shelf filled with colorful textiles and assorted ceramic items, creating a cozy and vintage atmosphere.

Got inspired by this crochet edge antique table cloth. I so could make this myself!

I could not help myself but buy some buttons (they just looked too cute!!!).

A collection of colorful buttons arranged on a wooden surface, featuring various designs and colors, with the phrase 'Cute as a button?' handwritten above.

On the way back found some interesting bugs (that’s unlike me to look for them, but this one might be useful someday :D).

A close-up of an ant on the ground, surrounded by dirt and small pebbles, with a handwritten note pointing out that it feasts on slugs.
A wooden bench beside a lush green hedge, overlooking a serene countryside landscape with distant fields and a hint of water.

And some blackberries!

A hand holding three ripe blackberries against a green background.

Some work done around Grannies house…

A person standing on a roof, holding a tool while smiling at the camera with a background of a brick house and green foliage.
A smiling woman wearing a purple sweater stands outside a brick house, holding a bundle of green branches in her garden.

After all this, I am ready to face a week 🙂

A person wearing one green rubber boot and one foot in a grey sock, standing on a tiled surface with greenery and pebbles nearby.

Have a wonderful week everyone!!!
