Sunday lunch

We stopped for lunch at The Swan Inn on our way home from Holt. Never been here before and you do wonder what the food will be like.

Oh my word! You should have seen the size of the Yorkshire puddings! They were huge. The only downside about having Sunday lunch here is the long journey home before we can curl up on the settee in the warm away from the dismal weather!

Definitely worth a stop if you are ever up near Kings Lynn.

Lazy Evening

After a few laps in the hotel pool and a relaxing spell in the jacuzzi, we have just enjoyed a nice meal in the restaurant.

Even though there is a wedding reception being held in the hotel, it was not disruptive to our meal and after coffee we have retired to our rooms.

Hoping for an relatively early night, absolutely shattered after driving today and then spending time in the pool and jacuzzi!

Journey's End

We have arrived at Booton in one piece, and have successfully relocated the caravan to its new home and owner. It will be keeping another van company!


I hope they will look after it, as mum and dad enjoyed many a holiday with it and it is immaculate and has been well cared for.



The weather has deteriorated somewhat and I can not see the attraction of living in a field without any serious amenities, but then each to their own I guess!


Now off to our hotel to enjoy it's pool and jacuzzi!

The Final Stretch

Swapped over from driving to passenger (no, not blogging while driving!) as my back was starting to seize up.



As you can see, the replacement driver is none other than my beloved other half :-)

Irritating thing is, it's going to look like he has done all the driving, and the women are just along for the ride!

Fag/Food/Coffee Break

Just stopped for a little rest on our journey down to Booton!

Towing the van hasn't been too bad, better than I expected in fairness. The only snag is, we have stopped at a Little Chef and the parking is not too good, so I have abandoned the car and van across a few spaces and it's in a dead end. There are two options: reverse the car and van back or unhitch it and turn it by hand.

Either is going to be entertaining for onlookers!

In the meantime, pictures of my fellow travellers!

A little adventure!

This is my inaugural post from my gorgeous iPad that my beloved boyfriend and mum bought for my birthday!

We are off to Norfolk to deliver a caravan today. Little bit nervous as I haven't towed a caravan for a while, hope the weather is reasonable while towing! The car I'm driving is a 4x4 so hoping not to experience any difficulties, fingers crossed!

If Tears Could Build A Stairway Dad

If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane, we would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.

Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.

But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more, to remember all the happy times life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten we pledge to you today, a cherished place within our heart Is where you'll always stay.

I miss you Dad, everyday. No poem will change that. People say that it gets easier. I wish the "gets easier" part would hurry up, because it hurts so much.

I know you will rest easier Dad, because I have a good man looking after me, and after Mum. He has been everything that you would want for me, and I couldn't have survived losing you without him.

But I miss you.

Just A Thought

I don't agree with the burning of books, regardless of what they are about, but in all honesty, was this Koran saga only just about burning some paper? It's highlighted the issue about the intended location of the mosque near to Ground Zero. How can anyone who has lost a loved one in the catastrophic events of 9/11 not see the building of a mosque at the site as anything other than insulting to the memories of all those who were lost?
