... with trips with mum and dad!!!) And eventually we make our way to Sherringham as mum and dad haven't been there before. We wander through the town and out onto the seafront – walk along and then sit on the stones watching the sea for a while before taking a look round the life boat station. Such extraordinary, selfless people – with each buzz of their pager, they willingly drop everything and completely risk ...

... imagining the people who lived there and their daily rituals. <br><br>We had the most beautiful day for it &#8211; and afterwards we go into the village and sit outside a small tearoom where we each have a piece of cake (lemon drizzle cake for me) and a drink, mum and I share a pot of coffee. Its lovely sitting there and we take our time, enjoying the sunshine and chatting.<br><br>We drive through the country lanes and flint villages until we hit Titchwell &#8211; where ...

... Now and then he mentioned the fact that it was going to be a late night and even mentioned 2am. I looked at my watch it was 7:45. If I was not mistaken the couple sitting next to Helen had dropped off to sleep and the women next to me was sitting stone faced and not amused. Helen however was sniggling at my own stone face and little gripes, as well as my glaces back to Vera Lynn behind me. When Ken cracked another joke my upper lip curled half a mm and five ...

... for Fantasy Island so that was the kids sorted <br><br>I managed a relaxing day when the girls (including Granny ) went shopping and I went fishing on the morning tide. Wrong time of the year really so all I ended up with was a couple of Weaver fish on the daytime tide

The basic criteria for a blog entry from my angle will be loosely dubbed an escape route from home, which involves at least an overnight stay in some shape or form, thus allowing a 2-night camping trip to a British seaside town to nestle alongside higher-budget and further-flung trips. With my trusty piece of canvas barely having been put to any use beforehand, pitching a tent at a campsite at the town of Burgh-Le-Marsh, on the ...

Last night I fell asleep quickly due to the exhaustion of the day, but this morning my mind began to recount the previous day's events and panic began to set in as I thought about all the logistics like what if the tow truck guys didn&#8217;t get the bike up here in time, what if they won&#8217;t take the bike at the airport, the bikes and paperwork are in Connie&#8217;s name and what if they don&#8217;t accept my signature for the documents, how ...

... are coming in July, can not wait to shoot SIC on a proper stage in proper lighting!<br><br>I could tell that the boys were also a bit tired and the gig was not one of the best, (in their own words), but the people present did like them a lot. Of course :D<br><br>SIC played first, so the headliners felt a bit insecure and where making comments about that he sounded like a girl in comparison to Mikkjal. And there were well meaning laughter and SIC cheered the band to prestige even better ...

MAY DAY Bit of a later start than we had hoped&#8230;.but finally got going later afternoon (ended up sending out last minute wedding invites!) It's raining &#8230;what&#8217;s new!? We headed north, and took the A1. It&#8217;s a pretty wet day, and as we drove through Sandringham (past Sandringham House where there is a Royal Military base!) Huge gate&#8230;but it was so wet we didn ...

... 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!<br><br>Anyway, to try and counterbalance the feelings of anxiety I got really really drunk and ended up puking in my tent (which I was sharing with my unfortunate friend Rich).
