Springtime at Sandringham Last week I visited Sa

Springtime at Sandringham Last week I visited Sandringham House to see this year’s exhibition - ‘Royal Garden Waste to Fashion’s Future’ - part of an ongoing collaboration between designers @vinandomi and His Majesty The King. I’ll be telling you more about it in our Early Summer issue of North Norfolk Living magazine. We dodged the showers but enjoyed seeing the gardens in spring, the progress of the new climate-friendly Topiary Garden on the West Lawn, and a peek at The Lower Maze Project, too, which is due to be completed this summer. #presstickets

Home to more than 650 medieval churches, Norfolk i

Home to more than 650 medieval churches, Norfolk is said to have the highest concentration of them in the world. I’ve been visiting North Norfolk churches recently and find that I have much to learn from what they can tell us, not just about their architecture and history, but also about the history of our local communities and individuals.
Last weekend, I visited St Margaret of Antioch in Cley, one of Simon Jenkins’ 1000 Best Churches, dating from the 14th to 16th centuries. It has magnificent cathedral-like proportions along with much detail to take in (don’t miss the carved figures a top the pew ends, for instance).
You can see Wiveton church across the meadows, near the banks of the river Glaven; this valley was formerly a tidal estuary, from which ships came and went to continental ports. You can find out more about this fascinating history over on the Glaven Valley Churches website. ✏️ If you’re visiting with children, The Arts Society Glaven Valley has created a trail around St Margaret’s (search their website to download it before you go). @girlaroundnorthnorfolk and our little living crew really enjoyed completing this - they love a trail! 🌿The Friends of Cley Church have created a nature trail leaflet to complete whilst you explore the churchyard - you can find this on the Glaven Valley Churches website. @cleychurch #norfolk #churches #localhistory #medieval #medievalarchitecture #stainedglass #cley #northnorfolk #coast #northnorfolkliving #spring

Saturday sunshine and a favourite spot on Cley beach - I think having four brothers means I automatically gravitate towards tractors and boats! #cleybeach #norfolk #coast #northnorfolk #fordtractor #tractors #crawler #fishingboat #fishinggear #lifeonthecoast

Carpets of celandines outside and a host of painted wooden angels high up within, it really was a case of looking up, looking down and feeling joy when I visited St Mary’s Church in South Creake last weekend. The angel roof is said to have been raised in thanks for Henry V’s victory at Agincourt in 1415. #parishchurch #southcreake #localhistory #angels #angelroof #celandines #spring #flower #norfolk #northnorfolk #latergram

Friends reunited! The Kelling Home & Friends pop

Friends reunited!
The Kelling Home & Friends pop-up has arrived at Creake Abbey, following a successful season in Glandford last year. Now based in the former Creake Abbey café and food hall, the pop-up brings together a fantastic collection of independent brands, across art, fashion, beauty, homewares and more, with The Barn Café also serving barista coffees, light lunches, plus scrumptious cakes from @wellybootbakery (my friend and I tried the Victoria sponge and lemon drizzle on Saturday in the name of research, obviously)!
The space has been beautifully styled by Kelling Home and alongside their trademark colourful homewares and accessories, the pop-up features wares from independent brands and local creatives including @antoniaclare_art @traceyrossartist @brancaster_gin @fenwickandtilbrook @abahna.uk @iris.and.i.jewellery @hollyblocks @willaandthebear @aurinaltd @jsburnhammarket @marshesandflint @flos_eiderdowns @troylondonuk @norfolkoliveco and @carolondonuk
Kelling Home & Friends will open from Wednesday to Sunday in March, April and May, and daily from June to August.
Creake Abbey has a really strong interiors offering, with @hivenorfolk also launching there last weekend; based in the Courtyard, it’s a bright and airy space mixing old and new furnishings, accessories and gifts. Across the way is @cape_vanilla, with homewares, crafts and gifts from South Africa. Resident in the Courtyard for a while, they have some lovely new stock for spring including some rather funky cushions! @creake_abbey @kellinghome @thebarnatcreakeabbey #shopping #creakeabbey #popup #shoplocal #homewares #interiors #art #fashion #food #northnorfolk #northnorfolkliving
