But on the way home we stopped off to see an open garden at Chestnut Farm, West Beckham, near Holt for charity. It was a lovely garden but there wasn't a great deal to see although I did take some photos which I include here and I'm quite pleased with some of them.
We did have brunch at Weybourne Ship before setting off for home. Getting home early gave me the chance to go to the latest film put on by Hethersett Village Screen.
I thoroughly enjoyed "The Lost King." It was one of those rare films for me that I just didn't want to end. It's the story of the hunt to find the remains of Richard III. The remains turned up in a Leicester car park and it was thanks to the obsession of Phillipa Langley that the car park was dug up and the bones found.
There was some doubt whether Richard was a hunchback as depicted in Shakespeare. The remains showed that he did have a curvature of the spine.
Leicester University doesn't come out well in the film, taking the credit for the find when the funding was raised by Phillipa Langley who also identified the burial spot.
If you haven't seen this film and are at all interested in history and particularly the last Plantagenet King and the starting of the Tudors, just give it a try, you won't be disappointed. There was a wonderful crowd of about 70 at the showing. Village Screen seems to be really taking off now as part of the village's monthly calendar.
As you know I'm always looking out for the obscure, the unusual and also finding interesting people.
In Cley Church we bought a load of greetings cards - you can never have too many greetings' cards in the drawer ready for that day when somebody says.
"Did you know it's Fred's birthday on Saturday."
"Oh I will send him a card. We have a drawer full of them."
Didn't think much about the cards until we came home and the other threequarters pointed out that one of them was very interesting - not for the fact it depicted St. Margaret's Church, Cley, but because of the artist.
Older bloggettes with an interest in sport might recognise the name Ken Taylor. The accompanying blurb says that Ken Taylor has "had an extraordinary life."
He was born in Yorkshire and at one time was playing cricket for Yorkshire and England and also at the same time playing football for Huddersfield Town and studying full time at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Ken's older brother Jeff played football for Fulham whilst studying for a geography degree at London University before going to the Royal Academy of Music and becoming an opera singer.
Ken played three times for England. In football he played over 300 first team games for Huddersfield and Bradford Park Avenue.
Their father was another interesting man, working in the weaving trade and repairing looms; and their maternal grandfather was a ventriloquist who had a Punch and Judy show on Blackpool Beach.
Not surprisingly Ken's main art work featured drawings of famous cricketers and footballers. Ken is now 87 years old and for over 30 years was a teacher at Greshams School at Holt. My guess is he may well live in Cley.
I hope you enjoy my pictures of the West Beckham garden.
