Ditch Cornwall for my seaside county this summer – we get less rain, an earlier sunrise… and we actually want tourists
EVERYONE might be heading to Cornwall this summer for their summer staycation - but my English county is a much better option. Born and raised in Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, my teenage summers were spent eating chips on the quay and hosting beach parties with my friends. 12 12 I've since travelled the world, from Iceland to California, yet nothing compares to the sunsets I've seen from my bedroom window in Norfolk. Not only does it get less rain than Cornwall (which is actually one of the UK's wettest regions) but we get a much earlier sunrise and we want tourists to visit. The vast open space makes our skies clear and full of stars, and I've even caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights from Brancaster harbour. From discovering secluded beaches to trying just about every fish and chip shop along the coast, I've put together the perfect guide to my home county to show you why Norfolk is the best place to spend your summer in the UK. The Best of Beaches When it comes to beach days in Norfolk, we're truly spoilt for choice. Away from the packed and pebbled beaches of the south coast, here you'll find stretches of golden sand that go on for miles. If you're looking for a slice of private paradise, the beach at Holme is my favourite spot hands-down. As the masses flock to Sheringham and Cromer, the dunes of Holme are only visited by the odd dog-walker and locals in the know. Nearby Thornham beach is equally as beautiful, and often even more quiet. The walk down to the shore through the pine forest and into the marshes is long but scenic, perfect for those seeking seclusion. It usually takes about 20 minutes to walk from the main road down to the sea, but you'll soon realise the walk is worth it once you have the whole stretch of sand to yourself! Pretty Norfolk coastline has sea lions and award-winning beaches- 12 12 12 Another way to take in the views of Norfolk's Blue Flag beaches is to walk the famous Norfolk Coast Path (or at least a section of it, unless you fancy walking 84 miles from Hunstanton to Hopton-on-Sea)! Smack bang in the middle of the Coast Path you'll find the White Horse in Brancaster-Staithe. You'll spot their Marshside bar from the path, the perfect pit-stop for a pint on your journey. Soak up the Sights It may be named England's 'flattest county', but Norfolk's wide and sandy coastline makes for some of the most stunning sunsets I've ever seen. For the most breathtaking of views, you'll want to catch the sunset from Hunstanton Cliffs. It's the only spot on the East coast that faces West, so it's the perfect place to park up and watch the sun dipping into the sea. My personal favourite way to watch the sunset is out on the sea in Burnham Overy Staithe. 12 12 Take a stand-up paddleboard (or take a lesson with North Norfolk Paddleboards from £48) and get out onto the marshes for a truly magical way to view the sunset on the water. Alternatively, if you watch from Cley or Blakeney point, you might see a seal or two pop up to join you! If you want to get up close and personal with the local seals, take a trip with Beans Seal Trips from Morston Quay to visit them out on the sandbanks. The trips run every day from April through to October, and cost £20 per adult or £10 per child (pre-booking is essential, they're very popular!) Fun for all the Family Not only do we have stunning nature here in Norfolk, but there's plenty of family-friendly attractions to keep the kids happy on your holiday. Our coastline is dotted with picturesque seaside towns from Heacham to Cromer, packed with traditional arcades and endless activities. I grew up bowling at Hunstanton Pier, and endlessly trying to win a giant Hello Kitty teddy at the Pop Inn Amusements in Wells (spoiler alert: she's now sat on my bed). If you're bringing the kids, visit Hunstanton to explore the aquarium and meet Ernie the green sea turtle, or try your hand at the Aztec-themed crazy golf on the promenade. Crabbing on the quay at Wells-next-the-Sea is a must on your trip to North Norfolk, and if you're feeling brave, visit the next town along, Holkham, for their action-packed ropes course. Top Food and Drink In Norfolk you'll be spoilt for choice for the best bites to eat. From award-winning fish and chips to delicious stonebaked pizza, I've ticked just about every coastal restaurant off the list. My top pick for traditional fish and chips has to be French's in Wells-next-the-Sea. There's a historic rivalry between the two quayside chippies, French's and Plattens, but French's takes the cake with its fresh fish and tasty new potatoes. You'll see lines out the door during peak times, so it's best to pop in early to avoid the queues. 12 I usually go just before midday - the queue that forms in the early afternoon often runs all the way into the evening. If you can't decide what you fancy, head to Thornham's Drove Orchards. Here you'll find a variety of restaurants and pop-ups, so you can mix and match whatever you please. Stop by Eric's pizza for a traditional margherita in a unique Yurt, or pop into Mim's for a scoop of gelato after a day of lounging in the sun. My favourite part about living in Norfolk is how dog-friendly we are. A large majority of our pubs and cafés welcome dogs, so there's no need to leave your furry friend at home. 12 If you're looking for a solid pub with great food where you can bring your pet along, the Rose and Crown in Snettisham has a dog-friendly bar and restaurant, as well as a cosy, walled beer garden. But perhaps my favourite corner of the coast is Old Hunstanton Beach Café. After letting the dog run wild on the beach, you can stop by for a great full English and a cup of tea. But the best part is their dog wall of fame, where you can pin a picture of your four-legged friend to remember your trip together.

The award-winning restaurateur who doesn't believe in charging for service
Every Thursday, our Money blog team interviews chefs from around the UK, hearing about their cheap food hacks and more. This week, we chat to Richard Johns, chef-owner of The Plough in Wombleton, North Yorkshire. I have never believed in charging for service... We are certainly in the minority on this but do believe it is the customer's right to leave a service tip if they wish. The simplest tip to be a better cook is... to constantly taste your food, seasoning with salt and pepper. The one thing I hate that some customers do is... booking a table and not honouring the booking. This happens less nowadays, but it still rears its head every now and then. The most overrated single food item is… fermented foods. I fully understand its origins, but it seems to be just a restaurant food fashion here in the UK. The most annoying review I ever had was… from a person who had clearly never visited our restaurant, let alone dined with us! It happens sadly. My favourite cheap place to eat where I live is... Mannion's of Helmsley. They offer a cracking full-cooked breakfast, which is done with care and skill. A great Monday morning spot after a busy weekend. I have absolutely no issue with people ordering tap water... We often do the same when eating out. The only rare time sharing is unacceptable might be... when a table of five orders one dessert and five spoons. That can be a bit much. The best city in the world to eat in is... New York. A fantastic eating mecca. Something delicious for any budget, day or night. I've cut costs in my restaurant by... literally turning off/powering down any equipment that is not in use. Other than fridges. Even turning off the kettle at the wall is now the done thing. A few years ago, this would not even have been a thought. My cheap recipe is for creme brulee... This dessert has been an almost permanent staple on our menu for the past 20 years - a very popular choice. The idea here is to obtain a silky-smooth custard, using rich egg yolks only. Whole eggs can be used but the results are very different. If using fresh vanilla pods, reserve the pods for other uses, as they have bags of flavour. For the best results, you will need a gas blow torch. This is a very controlled way of caramelising sugar. The recipe makes six creme brulee... Ingredients: 500g double cream 2 x vanilla pods, seeds scraped (or two tsp of high-quality vanilla extract) 60g caster sugar 235g egg yolk (cartons of liquid egg yolk can be bought easily online) Extra caster sugar for brulee Method: Preheat oven to 90°C. Place all ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan, except the egg yolks. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Remove from heat, cover and leave for 30 minutes for vanilla to infuse. Place pot back on a low heat and whisk in the egg yolks to combine and bring to a very gentle simmer. Do not boil, as you will have scrambled egg custard! Pass the custard through a fine sieve into a jug. Pour the custard into suitable ramekins, almost to the top. Place the ramekins into the oven and bake for approximately twenty minutes. Keep an eye on the custard, giving a ramekin a gentle shake after twenty minutes. You want the custard to have a gentle wobble in the centre. This will look almost undercooked but do not be deterred! Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow to cool. Place in the fridge for at least six hours to set. (Egg carries on cooking in the residual heat, hence removing from oven before fully set.) When ready to serve, remove ramekins from the fridge. Sprinkle a fine, even layer of caster sugar over each custard. Caramelise the sugar using a gas blow torch.

Mapped: Where three-day thunderstorm warning will impact UK this weekend
A three-day-long thunderstorm is set to sweep across the UK this weekend as temperatures are forecast to hit 30 degrees. Rising temperatures this week, brought on by a plume of humid air from Iberia, increases the risk of thunderstorms across the country. Yellow thunderstorm warnings are set to last from Thursday through to Saturday, with the Met Office warning of potential travel disruptions. On Thursday Wales and south-west England, including Devon, Somerset and parts of Cornwall, will be affected by a yellow weather warning until 7pm. Northern Ireland is also forecast to experience heavy rain until 9pm. The forecaster warned there was 'a good chance driving conditions will be affected by spray, standing water and/or hail, leading to longer journey times by car and bus', with delays to train services possible. Short-term power loss and other services are also likely. On Friday at 3pm until Saturday at 6am, London and the South East covering parts of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, as well as Surrey, Kent and East Sussex, have been given a yellow weather warning. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are also expected in parts of Wales and south-west England with a yellow warning between 6am and midnight on Friday. On Saturday, in addition to the thunderstorm warning in London and the South East, the forecaster issued a yellow warning until 6pm spreading from sout-west England and Wales all the way across the West Midlands, Yorkshire and south-west Scotland. Some western areas could see 20 to 40mm of rainfall over just a few hours, with intense downpours moving northeasterly with lightning on Thursday. Meanwhile, the second band of thunderstorms is set to move in again from the South West on Friday and will cause intense rainfall into the early hours of Saturday. Most of England, Wales and parts of Scotland could see 30 to 50mm of rain in a few hours. The forecaster revealed there will be a chance of delayed public transport and power cuts, while homes and businesses could flood quickly with damage to buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail and strong winds. But the spell of warm weather, which could see parts of England reach 30C, has also triggered a heat-health alert by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) between 9pm on Thursday and 8am on Sunday. Under UKHSA and the Met Office 's weather-health alerting system, a yellow alert means that there could be an increased use of health care services by vulnerable populations, leading to an increase in risk to health for individuals over the age of 65 and those with pre-existing health conditions, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Dr Agostinho Sousa, head of extreme events and health protection at UKHSA, said that even moderate heat can result in serious health outcomes, especially for older adults, making it important for people to take precautions in the sun. 'The forecasted high temperatures are expected to be short-lived but could primarily impact those over the age of 65 or those with pre-existing health conditions,' he said. 'If you have friends, family or neighbours who are more vulnerable, it is important to check in on them and ensure they are aware of the forecasts and are following the necessary advice.'' Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Mike Silverstone added: 'As temperatures rise this week, it is possible heatwave thresholds could be reached in some parts of the UK, particularly the north-west Midlands, north-west England and north-east Wales, however it is very dependent on cloud cover later this week, so it is not a certainty. 'This warm spell will feel different to the fine weather we experienced in May as the humidity will be much higher, making it feel more uncomfortable. Additionally, while in May the nights were still fairly cool, overnight temperatures this week are forecast to remain fairly warm, which can disrupt people's sleep.'
