    It's still a big breezy but that's OK.

    Being very MSE today. We have found a free stopover. Not many of those in this neck of the woods!

    How was the surf and turf?
    It's good to read you're enjoying yourself despite the weather. !!!!!! dreadful for the tent campers though.
    The surf and turf was worth getting soaked for 🤣🤣🤣


    Fml you eat better in your van than we do at home, we'd have shared that between the three of us. 

    Some familiar sights in your photos too! We will definitely return to Suffolk at some point.

    Back to Norfolk today. The longest drive of the trip I should think.

    We are going for a beach walk this morning with the dog before breakfast of toasted sandwiches before setting off for Wroxham. 

    The plan for today is to hire a day boat and get a takeaway curry for dinner later. Think we will need a splash of diesel for the van as well.

    We are staying on a small 5 van site in Wroxham tonight by the river. So we can watch the world go by.

    Back into Norfolk today and our destination of Wroxham. 


    We hired a day boat for a few hours and boiled ourselves and poor Syd!


















    Now we are on our mooring at Landamores motorhome aire. Can't get much closer to the water. Loving watching the world go by with a few beers.






    If I'm honest thought we would have enjoyed being on the water more than we did. As it was we both found it overly expensive for what it was. Probably won't bother next time!

    Great photos. Glad the weather was so nice for you. It’s been a lovely day here too but forecast rain for the weekend 🙁

    We travel closer to home today. An acquaintance has bought a small 5 van campsite and kindly offered us a pitch for the night on our way home.

    It will be nice to have a catch up. We had planned a bbq but looking at the weather forecast I suspect that will change to a mixed grill 🤔 

    We are sad to be heading home. We have had a fantastic week and could happily head out for another. Oh well. Not too long before we go to France.

    Our last night in Norfolk and we are staying at a beautiful little CL site in Middleton near King's Lynn called Westfield House. 


    Beautiful spot ideally located close to the A47.












    Only just over an hours drive home from here tomorrow.

    Sadly we must head for home today. Its only a short drive so we will be home by lunchtime. 

    We have had a fab week away and are all looking forward to the next outing with the van.

    This morning we will have a quick coffee and bacon sandwich before heading home. We have a nice joint of free range Norfolk pork for dinner later. Will have that with all the trimmings. 

    We will get the van unloaded when we get home and get a load of washing in. Will see if I can line dry a load before the rain arrives that is forecast. Could do with getting a couple of loads done really. Will see how we get on.

    Not much planned for today other than walking the dog somewhere and just chilling out ready for work tomorrow 😕
