Barnham Broom Classic Hotel & Country Club Norwich

We are at Dick & Bridgets. Charli is fine and has already had a good explore around - Roly is not so sure - unless he is just attention seeking!!! This morning Tony & Dick have draught proofed there en-suite room! Bridget is just trying to think of ...

... so we’re stuck indoors. And mum does not have a tv.

So how have we responded to the breakdown in a village scenario? I can report that we haven’t ensconced ourselves in a local fiesta nor picked olives for an old couple. We have though tidied up most of the loose ends and put the last few items in the loft for storage but then what? Mum did not need any shelves in the garage but I had some wood and angle brackets so I put them up. Hoovered and fitted ...

... the third engine failure of our journey to Alex's Mum in Norfolk (what was supposed to be just a slight detour on our way to Dover for a ferry on the 9th Nov). It could have been worse, we could have come to rest in the middle of a busy A road instead of splayed at an odd angle across the store's disabled parking bays! Three cheers for Alex's marvellous steering ...

... water activities are recommended. The dramatic setting of stunning and mysterious Ha Long bay that includes charming isles, wonderful beaches, quaint bays, beautiful coastal areas, and dark caves makes it the perfect place for water adventures.

Don't just dream it – live it! We can suggest a comprehensive guide at http://www.puretravel.com/Guide/Asia/So uth-East_Asia/vietnam where this is plenty of advice, tips and suggestions.

... when we got there there were about 2000 other people there, all dressed up, so lots of cool costumes to check out.

The venue had done a really good job decorating the place with spooky stuff. They even had carved pumpkins! The only thing I didn't like was that they had a big screen showing snippets from scary movies - and you know me, I do not like scary movies!

The music was really good too and of course they played classic "scary" songs like Thriller. Only problem ...

... too! The tickets are cheaper than in Australia, the candybar is about 3 times larger and more interesting and the actual theatres are very plush!

Teresa and I then headed back to the flat. It was Sam's (who also lives in the flat) birthday that day so we had a bit of a party in the flat. I made cupcakes and some others made a big thing of (rather nasty) punch. Sam was at home and missed his train so he didn't get back to the flat until about 11:30 at ...

... told everyone I will spend them on something extra that I would not have been able to enjoy without their treat - or I might use it for something especially memorable - like my first ever try at ski-ing which I have planned for Dubai - It seemed the most appropriate place to give it a go - also we are close enough to the end of our trip for breakages not to be too much of a problem.

This last couple of weeks when the alarm ...

... available, but each one comes with the exceptional service from the staff. An intimate romantic walk on the beach is within your reach. The beach is located in the vicinity and ready to be taken advantage of. What is a more romantic than the beach, pure blue water, and picking up seashells in the sand? On their website you can contact them to get your own ...

... seating. So we took our little picnic and headed out onto the water. We cruised all the way to a little village called Coltishall, had our picnic and for the first time found a pub on the Broads, so we stopped and had a little drink before making our way back to Wroxham. So by the time we put the girls onto the train at 5pm we were all well and truly tired..... but it was all so enjoyable and so much fun. Back to the grindstone....... Love Prue and Ben xxx
