This is our fourth issue during the pandemic. Fourth! I can’t quite believe it. Like many other businesses we have learned to adapt. I am no longer flustered when events are cancelled at the last moment before print, it has become the norm.

A Romantic<br />

Norfolk Hideaway<br />

Written by Emma Kemsley | @emma_kemsley<br />

The fields of swaying reeds speed by in a flash. The villages we<br />

pass are lined with flint cottages, some grand and glass fronted,<br />

others small and cobbled, standing the test of time. The road<br />

becomes narrow and we slowly drive down a winding lane into<br />

the heart of North Norfolk’s countryside. With every minute that<br />

passes it feels as though we’re escaping further away from the<br />

troubled world and entering a secret location where only my<br />

husband and I exist.<br />

We park directly outside Spinks Nest Cottage; a small flinted<br />

bolthole in the village of Hunworth. A cast iron table for two sits<br />

on the gravel outside and we bustle our way into the cottage<br />

to escape the icy wind. Instantly, our eyes dart around taking<br />

in every colour and detail of the meticulous interiors that<br />

somehow seem effortless. The cottage is a feast for the senses.<br />

Cute and cosy, it boasts a home away from home vibe. Within<br />

little time we had lit the fire, poured a gin and sat blissfully curled<br />

up in the armchair, book in hand.<br />
