Six foot lobsters in North Norfolk what ever next!

The North Norfolk Seaside Towns of Cromer and Sheringham have linked up together to create The Cromer and Sheringham Crustacea Crawl. 6ft crabs and lobsters all hand decorated will be situated in and around the two towns, the idea is to try to encourage more visitors to visit the towns over the Easter Holidays and encourage people to get out walking.A friend of mine has set up this blog Quirky Dreams to show case her design work on one, she is a very talented lady so I can't wait to see the final lobster in all it's glory on top of Beeston Bump!
