John Philpot's 40th birthday

Image

Big cast, small injury

Image
C seems to have fractured a bone in his thumb. It happened 10 days ago, when he went over the handle bars of his bike.  Although he's had some pain, it did slow him down from kayaking in Norfolk.  But today, a "maybe we should just get a quick xray" thought led to 3 hours at the hospital.

A stop at Holmes Dunes and beach, before the drive back south to London.

The Great Flood

Apparently, 40 Americans were killed in a great flood in Hunstanton, where we're staying, in 1953. Hence the flag next to the war memorial.
