We spent a few days this week at Centre Parcs in Elveden Forest on the Suffolk/Norfolk border with our son and his young family. I wasn't sure what to expect (Butlins with trees?) but was very pleasantly surprised. In spite of being almost fully booked ( it apparently always is) it was still very tranquil whilst at the same time there were plenty of activities for the children.
Very relaxing, just what I needed.
Here's the "Villa" we had with SWMBO practising with the E-PL1.
Here's the view from the patio.
And in the evening, shame there wasn't a pretty sunset.
Another view of "our" lake (there are several).
There's plenty of wildlife which comes right up to the villas.
This Grey Heron landed right across the lake from us.
Lot's of cheeky Squirrels.
A pair of Barnacle Geese visited every day and came right up onto the patio.These are from the feral population found in Norfolk and Suffolk and are present all year unlike the "true" wild birds which migrate to the Arctic to breed.
Surprisingly we saw very few of the small woodland birds which inhabit the adjacent Thetford Forest.
Overall a very pleasant and relaxing week, just what I needed.
