Oliver Cromwell visits the NNR

The NNR continues to be a very popular attraction with our guests. Both cottages were booked this weekend with our guests drawn to North Norfolk by the official opening of the level crossing at Sheringham linking the NNR to the Bittern Line. To mark the occasion The Broadsman 'special' was run from London to Holt hauled by the Oliver Cromwell. Many thanks to Phil Greenslade for this picture of the train as it approached 'our' bridge 299. On the nature front lots of redwing and fieldfare in the field behind the cottages this weekend and a brief glimpse of the Marsh Tit which has been an occasional visitor to the feeders in our neighbours front garden for sometime now. Here at Bessingham regular sightings of the local Barn Owls, Roe Deer and the Brown Hares doing their 'Mad March' thing.
