Summer Holidays

When we were kids we used to holiday at East Runton nearly every year. We stayed with George and Mabel Bonney (and Trixie the dog) at Shepherds Cottage on the common. I think it was called Top Common. My Dad hired two beach huts from Walter Green - one of the fisherman - who used to sit at the bottom of The Gap mending his crab nets. What fun we used to have!! A marvellous clean beach with rock pools and, when the tide was out - ideal for football! Mr Bonney told us all the best places to go and we often took Trixie for walks - or should I say she took us as she knew the area so well! Such happy times and great memories of a beautiful Norfolk village. Hope it hasn't changed too much!
