Donna Nook

   It's now early November and I have no trouble choosing where to camp this weekend.I'm looking forward to taking the hubby to Donna Nook Nature Reserve. I remember going, way back when I was knee high to a grasshopper but hubby has never been.

Booked into Pigeon Cottage a quiet little site,with good shelter.
The weather is rather chilly but dry. We pitch Bella with no problems,I'm happy now.

Saturday morning we have a good breakfast and set off for Donna Nook. It's very chilly on the coast, so we head to the onsite vender.The coffee is surprisingly good for only £1. Clutching our coffee's we head onto the small walkway.

The sight before us is not for the squeamish,though you wont get much closer to nature.With coffee finished the cold wind becomes forgotten as we click away with our camera's,oh and awe -ing to what lay before us.The hubby is impressed, pointing out the huge protectors of their young bouncing and sliding to an approaching predator.We spend a good couple of hours just watching nature unfold.
On the way back hubby asks me what seems like a daft question.I look at him gone out,with a cheeky grin he repeats his question."I have no idea " I reply.With my response given hubby points down towards a wooden sign. Where he slowly lifts the small wooden panel, beneath his seemingly daft question .Here lies the answer.Which he refuses to tell me.We notice the walkway is dotted with these Q & A signs and race each other to read them. At the last one there is a small hut where you can read lots more information or purchase small gifts.

Feeling the cold once more we opt for another coffee ,welcoming it's warmth to walk back to the car with.

A good morning out for so little cost as entry is free,but car parking is a small charge.We both agree that this will become a yearly visit.
