Recreation

One of the best things about our life here in North Norfolk is the range of cycling opportunities in Norfolk. There are lots of tranquil lanes around here, and it's feasible (safe and not too far) for even a seven year old to cycle on her bike to the beach and many other places. Dan used to be into BMX racing, too, we are hoping one of his little brothers will catch the BMX-racing bug in the future. Isabel has ridden the track herself, but lacks the competitive urge for racing.

What the little boys are into for now is building Brio train track layouts while Isabel continues her ongoing obsession with animals of all descriptions.
