A walk to Eaton Park Cafe

This morning Val and I had decided to go back to Gorleston and the beach, but after some thought we decided that we’d do a longer walk. We parked at Bothorp, which is just down the road from where we live, and walked across country to Eaton Park cafe, where the sun is shining brightly. There’s hardly a cloud in the sky, and we’re just awaiting a coffee.

So far, our walk has been 2.8 miles. Google said it was 2.7, but I guess we took a slightly different route. We were thinking, as we walked past the Sainsbury Centre in the University of East Anglia, which is a brilliant, brilliant museum, that it would be a great place to take Susan and Steve if and when they come in September or October. We’ll have to wait and see if Susan likes the idea.

By the way, this is dictated using Wispr Flow, which is an app you can get on Mac, iPhone, Android phones, etc. It’s brilliant. It’s much better than using Google typing, but if you do spot some grammatical error or bad spelling, it’s not my fault.

And the picture of me leaning on something is actually a public bike maintenance point, which I’ve never seen before, but it’s got every tool that a cyclist could need. I’m actually leaning on the bit where you hang your bike while you work on it. There’s a pump around the other side. There’s every screwdriver, allen key, and multi tool that you might need while you’re out if you’ve got a problem with your bike.

And you can see in the picture it’s really busy in this park. This is where Park Run runs on Saturday mornings in Norwich, but we’re thinking maybe it’s a good place to come and have a picnic.
