Walsingham, Norfolk - Snowdrop walk for Ellen's birthday

Saturday, instead of the usual visit to Waitrose we had a day out with Ellen and Dan to celebrate Ellen's birthday on the 5th (happy birthday Ellen!). Walsingham Abbey in it's day was a place of pilgrimage with as many visitors as Canterbury thanks to some bird having a vision or summut. Pilgrimages were much like modern day holidays and involved partying on the way there (see the canterbury tales).
It was a georgeous day, as you can see from the photos, the sunset pictures were taken on the way back from Hunstanton which was alot prettier than I was expecting.
Me who suffers badly from pushchair envy, having seen Leon's pushchair in action, I have to say, I'm impressed both cos it looks good in the photos and it did very well on the walk where strictly speaking a 3 wheeler with pneumatic tyres would have been needed. The wheels are big enough to cope pretty well.
Leon slept most of the way but I'm sure he enjoyed himself.
It was a really nice day out, I've never seen so many snowdrops. Beautiful place.
