Thanks, Moose. Was it that particular salt marsh, the ones near Blakeney and
Cley next the Sea? In fact there are defences against the sea's encroachment,
but recent tidal surges have breached them. The Environment Agency is talking
ominously of "managed retreat" . . .

I did too. I sometimes take a photo for FB, for my younger son's delectation.
It has become something of a tradition between us as he is a keen trencherman,
normally with steaks, but latterly with all sorts of Asian foods (his fiancée
is Chinese lady from Glasgow).

That's a good record. I particularly like the view of the inlet, with the mist
rising.

Yes I shall (just do it, not ask). My next task is to print more photos, of
grandchildren and of occasions. Images on a hard drive are uninteresting to
most of the family.

Yes, another good record.

You'd have to decide how you were going to group the shots: by restaurant, by
reflection, by staff, by courses etc . . .
