ON OUR DOORSTEP...

Visit... ‘Blakeney, a coastal village within the Norfolk Coast AONB (tournorfolk.co.uk/blakeney.html). I spent many a happy day crabbing and sailing there as a child. There’s nothing like a wintry coastal walk to make you truly appreciate a cup of tea and a delicious scone at the Artemis café (artemiscoffeeshop. co.uk); it’s now a weekly ritual.’

Shop at... ‘If we have visitors we always pop into Back to the Garden (01263 715996, back-to-thegarden.co.uk). It’s a butcher, deli and farm shop in Holt.’ Go for a meal at... ‘The Dun Cow (01263 740467, salthouseduncow.com) in Salthouse, is a cosy pub serving good local ale and really good, locally-sourced food, all day long, seven days a week. It’s both family and dog friendly. ’
