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 ...

... please.

To cut a long story short, our foray into mainland Europe has been postponed whilst we hide in Norfolk, cross our fingers and toes (and other body parts) and rather anxiously await news on Brian's health. Good news, the flat purchase went through at the end of October, it's decorated and now with a letting agent. Bad news, it needed a new boiler and radiators!

I also have to pack today because I'm leaving very very early (as in, bus leaves at 3am to get to Gatwick by 8:30am) tomorrow morning to go to Pisa and Florence for three nights. Super excited about that! I've never been to Pisa, so will have to do the touristy thing and check out that leaning tower. I went to Florence when I was really little, but I think I'll appreciate things like the Uffizi Gallery much more now. Plus, you know my feelings on ...

... We started by driving to the Broads (big sea lakes) where we got a chartered boat out to see the seals. There were two types living together - grey seals and common seals. The grey ones are small and super cute! The common ones are larger and grumpier, but also nice. We got really close in the boat, but they didn't seem to even notice us. I hope not anyway!

After that we stopped in a town called Holt for lunch, where I found a great little cafe. I ...

After a great nights sleep (sooo grateful!!), Hayley and I went into town for breakfast. Ate at a delightful place- Waffle House...had a traditional english breakfast with mushrooms, fried tomatoes, eggs, bacon, with the added bonus ...

... have the video, and can confirm that the time was 3.98 seconds... not bad for a man with such severe sunburn... Also - congrats to Ian, after I almost had to carry him home, I was absolutely amazed to hear that he'd managed to still make his training session at 7am in the morning - now that's dedication! Anyway, I'll sign off now, thanks again to all of you, and speak to you soon. Enjoy the photos!
