Friends to Stay

One of the things we like about living in North Norfolk is that we get a lot of visitors over the summer as it is such a lovely place to visit and a popular holiday spot.

Chelmer had a whale of a time when his cousin Spike and a number of friends came to stay. They managed to pick one of the sunny spells so were out and about all the time doing lots of daring outdoor things, especially tree climbing.


It's a good job they're confident and sure footed as they did reach some lofty heights.

The most exciting time of all though was had by Marmaduke, who you may recall is one of the latest arrivals at the Norfolk Branch. Marmaduke was rescued from a Christmas fayre stall after we took one look at him and realised that he was so much the spitting image of a couple of the Suffolk branch members that he must surely be related. A hasty phone call to the Suffolk branch established that Marmaduke was the long lost brother of Bailey and cousin of Smiley.

Although they talked regularly on the phone, it took a while to arrange the long awaited reunion. The anticipation made it all the more exciting for them when they did finally meet.


The happy reunion brought tears to the eyes of the rest of us. The talking, toasting and scrutiny of the photo albums went on late into the night.

We do love a happy ending!

Lots of love, all at the Norfolk Branch xxx
