It's been a while, eh?

Yeah, well, I've been away. Here's a quick overview of what we got up to.

Monday
Travelled to Norfolk, not leaving until almost 3pm. Cool by us - we couldn't arrive at the cottage until after 4:30pm. We arrived at the Cottage, unpacked, looked around. Very nice cottage, would most definately stay again.

In the evening, we had to get some food, and thus we ended up at The Lawns, for a very nice meal. We went back to said cottage, and eventually to bed.

Tuesday
Tuesday, we went on the North Norfolk Railway from Holt to Sheringham. It was a steam day, so we were hauled by a steam train. Sheringham is probably the strangest place I have ever been to. It is seriously weird.

Foodies that evening was pasta and butter, made by us, bought from a very overpriced Spar in Holt.

Wednesday
Wednesday we went to Titchwell Marsh. Did we see a varied number of birds? We saw a few, but it was the wrong time of the year - this is when they all migrate south. We did see a lot of geese, some Avocets and Oystercatchers. We also saw a lot of middle aged or really old people with huge digiscopes. I think that they outnumbered the birds.

For food this evening, I believe we ended up going to Wells-Next-The-Sea and attempting to get food. The first place we got to was fully booked. The second place we got to had stopped serving by 8pm. Yeah. Chock full of oldies, is Norfolk. Eventually we went to Tescos at Fakenham (about 25 miles from where we were staying) and got some food, as all other shops were closed too.

Thursday
Thursday didn't start off well. The Boss spent half of the day working remotely as there was a problem at work, and of course he was the only person who could fix it. It wasn't until almost midday that we left to go to the RADAR Museum. We had originally planned to go to the Norfolk Aviation Museum too, but we didn't have time.

Nom for Thursday evening was taken at The Red Lion in Stiffkey. No, that's not really "Stiffkey", it's actually pronounced "Stoo-key". I suppose it's a bit like "Haysborough", which is actually spelt "Happisburgh". Nom was on nom, as was the beer.

Friday
Leaving in the morning, we went to visit some friends in Lincolnshire. Got shown around that town, had a nice lunch with them, it was nice to see them. Then we had to go to Oxfordshire. We were a bit later than planned after some traffic delays, but we eventually arrived there a bit after 5pm.

Saturday
On Saturday we went to Legoland. I got very wet on a few of the rides. It was a good time out - shame that there had to be badly behaved children, and even worse parents there.

Sunday
And Sunday was taken up with a visit to the Cotswold Falconry and Bird of Prey Centre. We left to come home after 10pm. By the time we got home we had gone through 10 counties in 7 days.

We arrived home at about quarter to one this morning. Yeah. I was useful at work today. So much so that The Boss told me to come home and work from here instead. That I am kind of doing...
