On Saturday, we went to the beach at Hunstanton, Norfolk. It was a nice day and the kids enjoyed playing on the sand. When we arrived, the beach was almost deserted apart from a few people sat on the steps leading down to the sand and a few others walking along the edge of the water.

Maize maze pictures
As promised, here are some pictures from the maize maze last weekend.
This is the way in.. there are sunflowers all around the edge of the maze so if you can see them, you know you’re heading towards the edge of the maze. The maize itself is about 6-7ft high, and the sunflowers were generally just a little taller.
I want one of these…
Caught a brief snippet of this on GeekBrief.TV #0055 but I’ve just found the source of the original video. Go and watch the full video at http://www.ted.com/tedtalks/tedtalksplayer.cfm?key=j_han
I wonder how long it’ll be before this kind of interface is available to everyone.
Maize maze – Whitminster
This weekend we went to visit my parents for a couple of days. It was Geordan’s birthday so we did something different and went to see the maize maze in Whitminster designed by Adrian Fisher.
It’s a great afternoon out for the kids and it takes about an hour and a half to go around it and find the 10 quiz markers so you can enter the competition. Pictures to follow soon.
Reading: Nightlord by Garon Whited
I’ve not long started reading Nightlord by Garon Whited. It’s a vampire story set in the present day and written in the form of a diary with the days forming each chapter. After some initial character development, there’s an interesting twist that allows for the story to venture more into a fantasy world.
Hen Races at Bonsall
We went to the Hen Races at Bonsall yesterday. Yes, it’s what it sounds like… they were racing hens!
This is what the track looked like. It was setup in the car park opposite The Barley Mow, Bonsall.
