My wife worked today and I was at home as its a public holiday here in the UK so I took the kids to Happisburgh Lighthouse . Its the oldest working light in East Anglia, and the only independently run lighthouse in Great Britain.Its only about 3 miles up the road from me and I've taken a bearing off it many times at sea but have never been inside it . Great view and the girls enjoyed it to , also bumped into an old school friend as well

My house is about here

Those bunkers in the field are left over from WW11 they were incase the Germans landed . There are loads of them around this part of the country .
