Favourite shop

Richard Scott Antiques, Holt – full of exquisite glass and china beautifully displayed with a charming proprietor.

---

Favourite eatery

Chai Yo Thai Restaurant in Sheringham – seriously good vegetarian options and super friendly service.

---

Favourite walk

The ancient woods around Bayfield Hall recently enhanced by a brand new stretch of the river Glaven.

---

Favourite beach

Thornham, often overlooked and totally unspoilt. You can still sense the presence of Seahenge.

---

Favourite season

Spring in Norfolk is stunning: the smell of blossom on the air, bright green leaves and bluebells carpeting the woods.

---

Favourite memory

I helped the RSPCA to rescue a seal pup from Salthouse beach on Christmas Day – rather apt considering the name of our coffee company.

Reason to visit

There is a sense of being in a remote wilderness, a chance to escape to the middle of nowhere but with the benefits of civilisation never being too far away.

Best of all

The wildlife: hares, deer, otters, seals and osprey.
