Hi all! Each time our wedding anniversary comes round, i canât believe how much our marriage has grown more and more fruitful. Our love keeps blossoming through every season and i thank God for Sarah.! â¤ď¸
Sunny HunnyâŚâď¸ đÂ
For our 14th wedding anniversary we decided to visit Hunstanton, Norfolk, and stay over for one night in the Golden Lion hotel. This was âThe Blind Sightseersâ first trip away from home since Jan 2020 so we were ready, lol.Â
As you may know Hunstanton is where we had our honeymoon (and then 5 consecutive anniversaries) in the Old Lighthouse, so we were interested to see if anything had changed?!Â
After leaving home at 7am we knew it was going to be a long day, especially after a 5 hour journeyâŚA taxi, train, underground train, another train and a bus we arrived at Hunstanton a little past lunchtime! đŞđźÂ
NO WAY THE DOUGHNUT VAN IS STILL HERE!!!Â
DINGâŚDINGâŚDINGâŚBOOM!!! đÂ
The sound of the âBlind Sightseers Gastronomic Leaderboard Bellâ exploded as we quickly devoured the doughnut.Â
We managed to get 1 each of the consistently perfect doughnutsâŚAnd it was even the same lady whoâd served us 14 years ago on our honeymoon! đ˛ As we walked up to the van she said âYour usual?â đ¤Ł
After eating the best doughnuts in the world we started our walk around Hunstanton. We only walked about 200 yards when we found??? đ¤Â
Willy The Wash Monster L.A.R.C. XV…
This beast is a 1967 Landing and Recovery Craft and is ex USA Army and used in Vietnam. It now gives sea tours in Hunstanton Norfolk and is classed as a ferryâŚOh and itâs also powered by 2 Cummins 920 V8 engines! đŞđź đ
We had been on this beast years ago and knew it went up to the lighthouse and backâŚAnd since we canât go on a cruise ship, this was the nearest thing, lol. Â

 The boat ride didnât disappoint and shortly after we needed to check into the hotel. There was only 1 room left and it was at the rear of the hotelâŚBut the shower was hot and powerful (rips the skin off) so all was well, lol! đ¤Ł
Now iâd dropped off my heavy backpack it was time to explore to see if anything had changed?! NoâŚIt was all exactly as it was 14 years ago, the only thing (our fave shop) Surface had closed. This was our place to buy surfer clothes each yearâŚWell i say we, Sarah used to but i was always too bigâŚBut iâd lost 5 stone now so was looking forwards to finally buying a topâŚOh well, lol! 𤣠Â
After a long day of walking around the place about 5 times, drinking coffee, eating chips, doughnuts and scones we were sipping a glass of red wine and watching the sun set over Hunstanton.
The walking…
I have no idea how we managed it as Hunstanton is a very small townâŚBut weâd managed to walk around 10 miles over the afternoon and evening! This was a blessing after what weâd eaten on our mini holidayâŚNow itâs time to rest after a full day as we only have the morning to go!
The next day…
After a small breakfast we were excited to go for another walk. As it was also early there was hardly anybody else aroundâŚAnd as this walkway is one of my fave places to walk in the world (empty and very wide), it was a good start to the day.Â
 As i was walking up and down on my own unaided and free, it felt fantastic to just pretend i could see where iâm going for a while, lol! đ¤Ł
The funny face???
Not sure what iâd just heard (maybe you could leave me a funny comment with your suggestions) but i just had to give you a comedy moment! 𤣠 Â
 Ooohhh a helter skelter…
 More walking…Â
 Wow i think Sarah is going to bless us with one of her stupendous panoramas…
 The chips…
DINGâŚDINGâŚDINGâŚBOOM! đÂ
Now these are the best chips anywhere on earth! Seriously iâm not using any hyperbole. It really is a good job i donât live here as these chips are dangerous! đ¤ŁÂ
 After another coffee and a quick walk around some souvenir shops, it was time to say goodbye to Hunstanton and catch the coast hopper bus. Wow what a ride, time has just flown by on this short 14th wedding anniversary holiday.
Striving to be a Godly husband…
There is no more lovely, friendly or charming relationship, communion or company, than a good marriage. – Martin Luther
I strive daily to love Sarah biblically and extravagantly, but to love her biblically i always first ask âWhat is Godâs love for us like?âÂ
Godâs WordâŚ..
Husbands, you must love your wives so deeply, purely, and sacrificially that we can understand it only when we compare it to the love that Jesus Christ has for His bride, the church..
âLove is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never failsâŚâ â1 Corinthians 13:4â8
I thank God for sustaining our marriage in Purity and Truth. And look forwards to more years on this Brobdingnagian adventure!
