Well its been a bit quiet on here for a while, sorry about that, but we’ve been busier than ever doing stuff!
Two weekends away in a row, both with perfect weather – who would have expected that this time of year?
First we camped for the weekend at Banham Zoo, we didn’t visit the zoo but did go to Bressingham Steam Museum for the day – most of us hadn’t been before, and thoroughly enjoyed all the steam train rides, and of course the gallopers built by Savages of King’s Lynn. The day before we were lucky enough to get a boat big enough to take all 10 of us and spent three hours on the Norfolk Broads, making it from Wroxham to Coltishall, where some of us had a quick bite to eat and a drink, and back – taking it in turns to drive.
Then last weekend we camped out in a pub garden, visiting a night-time event at the Maze in Maize at Whaplode – scary going around the maze in darkness with various people jumping out of the corn at you occasionally, even if they were actually trying to scare someone else at the time (oops, sorry – wrong people!!). A few went in fancy dress, and most of us sampled the BBQ food that was being sold, before heading back to the pub for a few drinks before bedtime. Sunday lunch the next day was very enjoyable and followed by a trip to Springfields in Spalding for some retail therapy, and just general lazing about in the deckchairs on the lawn!
All this having fun and taking it easy is rather tiring……
