On Saturday the fifth of May we went to Blakeney Point. Blakeney Point is a place where you can watch birds and seals. First we went for a walk around the marshy area.

Looking at the wildflowers - I worked out later that they were Gorse flowers, using my wildflower book. |
To see the seals you have to go for a boat trip unless you have super
dupper good binoculars. Here are some pictures from the
boat trip.

Two seals fighting with some seals behind them. |
Then we went to Oxburgh Hall. At Oxburgh Hall we went down the priests hole. A priest's hole is where priests used to hide when they were in danger of being captured. Some Catholics let them go and have a priest hole in their house. Here is a picture of me coming out of it.
We also went to the gardens. The grounds were big but there was a smaller formal garden called a 'parterre'.

Hi Elsie, this looks like such a wonderfully interesting house. Glad you had time to explore the garden too! Love Grandad
