North Norfolk Memories

 

Hand in hand on Holkham Beach

Twin footprints in the sand

Happy as we stroll towards

The future we have planned

Collecting shells and memories

Our toes warmed by the tide

That washes o’er the sun-kissed shore

As we walk side by side

Horizons filled with coloured sails

Far coasts obscured by haze

Fighting through the yachting throng

For cockles at the Staithe

Blakeney beer and Wells-next-Sea

And Burnham Market fish

Sunny days and sultry nights

What more could one girl wish

Samphire suppers, crab and wine

Bright kites that soon take wing

A golden time to end one year

And love the next to bring.
