... own life to save those of other people who have got themselves into trouble at sea. They don’t get paid for this, they just do it and I didn’t realise until this visit that they do not get one single penny as an organisation from the government, they are completely charity funded – i.e. donations from people.

We find a tearoom overlooking the beach to have some lunch in and then move on up the ...

... and move on to the village of Thornham and finally we end up in Hunstanton.

We wander along and decide to find somewhere for dinner – it turns out that the waitress was born and grew up in the same town that I did, and where my parents still live – so we had a bit of a chat to her about it.

On the way back to the B&B we saw the most beautiful barn owl, I so love it when we see them – a totally awesome bird and it was only a few feet ...

... in the audience now laughed, Wow he was really going for it now but it was short lived and very soon the Hammond organ and ***** drummer took Ken into another song with granny smith behind me in accompaniment.... It was all I could take and at 8:02 we left the building, I had made it through about 40 minutes of Ken Dodd which was 39 more than I had wanted to so all in all I had done well.
I'm glad I had seen him with my own eyes and drawn my own ...

We wnet to Skegness for the first time in 5 years then found out we had booked in at the same Touring site too. Though this was a trip to take Grand-daughters for birthday treats so we raied the internet for Bogoff tockens for Natureland and The Pleasure beach even found ...

... changes remarkably well, and although only a tiny percentage of foreigners will be familiar with the place, daytrippers from the Midlands still descend on the place as if it were their second home. The highlight of this trip was an evening of entertainment at the local Stock Car racing arena, with an extravaganza of sorts lined up for all to appreciate. Various events ranging from domino-style car toppling, to monster truck car ...

... able to fly. So far, the doctors were cautiously optimistic about both and thought she might get out on Friday, although Connie had her concerns about being able to make the flight. Mick and I spent some time making sure she was alright and then headed back to Leeds for the evening, leaving Connie and her hen party to plan their entertainment of the evening…somehow, I didn’t think getting the male nurses to pole dance was in the cards...

... can get anything to eat, providing its deep fried with chips. Lucky my cousin saved us from cholesterol overload by providing us with delicious meals. I visited my old home and was shown the actual room I was born in.

We then caught the train to York where we are staying for the next four days. "ee, ain't it grand"

... is hard work but after a good photo or a good gig, that is the price in it. And even better if you dared to share it with others, and they do appreciate it.

The main thing is to do your best, pursue your dreams and not just to day dream about them. So here I am, making one dream come true in company of good friends that has taken me amongst them, pursuing their own dreams.

And JP had the his kilt on – he was looking cool, man.

As so many times before in the ...

... t even stop to take a picture! We kept driving up towards Hunstanton and watched the windsurfers & surfers from the cliffs in the awful weather. Drove back to see if we could find a camp ground….the first one wanted £30per night, thought that was a bit steep! So kept driving on. Finally found a little camping ground near the sear in Snettisham which was much cheaper- £12per ...

... to dawn on me what I had let myself in for. Looking back on it now it is hard to imagine how I felt, mainly because I now know what I have encountered over the last year, but before I left I was stepping into the complete unknown... anything could happen!
