New Ears

Today I want to challenge you with a new experience. Let's see if we can do it together. I would like you to listen to this song. However,  instead of focusing your attention on what it says I'd rather you could just listen to the sounds. Let's start with the short i /ɪ/  just  check the way she says  "kiss" or "me" and see how many more examples of  that sound you can find along the song.

Hello and welcome to our brand new E-News....

from the team at The Nelson at Burnham Market, Norfolk. 


A warm welcome awaits at The Nelson Pub & Restaurant with Rooms located in the heart of Burnham Market, one of Norfolk's prettiest villages, just a hop, skip and a jump from the North Norfolk Coast. We’d like to keep you updated with news updates, tell you all about our special offers and share with you what’s happening right here at The Nelson, Burnham Market and throughout Norfolk. If you would prefer not to receive our news then please unsubscribe.
Did you know that today, 21st October, is Trafalgar Day, marking the victory of the Royal Navy under the command of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21st October 1805 over the Spanish and French fleets. Horatio Nelson was born at nearby Burnham Thorpe on 29th September 1758 and went to sea at the age of 12.  He was fatally injured during the Battle of Trafalgar by a French sniper shot and was later buried at St Paul’s Cathedral. The area known as “The Burnhams” are of course inextricably linked with Horatio Nelson but in fact settlements date back to the 6th Century and are named after the Anglo Saxon words for river (burn) and settlement (ham).
But there’s more to our lovely part of the world too – fascinating fact number 2 coming up – the cliffs at Hunstanton have just been voted “People’s Favourite” in the Coastal category of the UK’s Top 100 Geosites.  Just 10 miles away, the colourful stripy cliffs are caused by contrasting layers of red limestone, also known as “red chalk” and white chalk and also noted for their fossils.  Well worth a visit!

Dare we say it...Christmas is coming!

Head Chef, Richard, is currently putting the finishing touches to some fantastic new dishes for our brand new Winter menu and of course our Christmas menu too (which will be available from 1st December) so do keep an eye on our Websiteand on Facebook to see what we can tempt you with.  Remember, all our food is sourced locally from trusted suppliers.
The Christmas Spectacular at Thursford, just 15 minutes away, starts on 8thNovember.  The largest Christmas Show in the country with a professional cast of 130 it is an extravaganza of singing, dancing, music, humour and variety – not to be missed.  Don’t miss Santa’s Magical Journey too for the young and young at heart.  If you’re planning a visit, why not stay with us in one of our individually designed and decorated comfortable en-suite rooms.  We have some very special deals available for an overnight stay at The Nelson with Thursford tickets included.  Or call in for a drink or a meal on your journey before or after the Show.

While we’ve got you in a festive mood, make sure you save the date – Saturday 22ndNovember – for the Burnham Market Christmas Market from 12 noon with the big Christmas Lights switch on at 6pm. Hope to see you then!
