I dunno, on a Wednesday.....done some back roads? Could just be an open car boot with a ballsy and lazy kidnapper waiting for a bargain hunting single woman to come a long and topple in to his boot.

Is Netherlands the one in trouble over wearing a coming out dress?

I retract my previous statement. You were right viva. Netherlands is awesome.:)

GT anniversary.
Is it the day I got the keys? Or the day I moved stuff (& me) in?

On the getting the keys, I got the call at 11.29am on one day. Went round & deep cleaned the place, prepared for moving all the stuff. The actual move in was the day after.

When do I celebrate? :huh:

My considered opinion is that you should celebrate on both days, just to be on the safe side

For our wedding anniversary we have one celebration for the civil and one celebration for church wedding, as they were 1.5 months apart. You can't have too many celebrations.

Just doing some number crunching.....

Sweden is Russia's biggest threat, and that is hugely dependent on a very risky backdrop going completely perfectly.

I therefore believe that one of those two will be the winner

There's a wonderful coastline between Cromer and Great Yarmouth. I'd recommend pretty much anywhere between those two towns, but not the towns themselves. What are you looking for? Night life in Norfolk is pretty unsophisticated. But there are lots of sandy beaches that are not too crowded.

Nice coastal walk(s) would be top notch sir. As would nice scenic gardens, woods, forests or the like. Nice places to picnic. Recommended affordable fooderies. Any potential "experiences" one should have were one to visit there.

Re Great Yarmouth... Have only been there a couple of times, neither recently, however I agree that there are nicer places on the Norfolk coast. I prefer north Norfolk such as Wells Next The Sea. I'd go that way if heading for the county. It's much less developed and more charming.

Great Yarmouth isn't dreadful, it's just representative of a particular type of Britsh resort. Reminds me of Skegness, Margate pre Tate and local renaissance, Hastings etc... all fair sized seaside towns with a fair sample of fish and chip shops, tacky souvenirs, arcades and so on. Plus sometimes a funfair.

Skegness to me was just a boring place. Went there for a day last year whilst visiting friends. No reason to go there ever again.

Thanks for the replies all! Ideas of places to escape to are being noted down

Perfectly valid argument there.
Think I'll have a low key "collect the keys" anniversary. Planning a game of golf with my dad, then my parents coming over for dinner. Perhaps a restrained GT day (GT-ing & parents doesn't really go together, does it?)

I';m making them toad in the hole. Only because in conversation with my dad the other day I found out he didn't know what it was, nor had he ever eaten it.:eek:
