We are at present in Norfolk where we have ventured to try out our new caravan for a full week. I haven't actually got a weeks holiday from work but it is my long weekend (Thursday to Tuesday inclusive) so I took 3 lieu days.....Tuesday, Wednesday for this week and Wednesday for next week so that we could have a week away.
We were slightly disappointed when we arrived because we thought we had booked for the actual holiday village which is called long beach, but we are only on the long beach estate and we are basically in a field. However we have had a great time so far. We went to the Cromer carnival day on Wednesday and saw the Red Arrows perform an air display and then we watched the parade on the night (was very much like our lord mayors parade). yesterday we went onto the Norfolk Broads and spent 5 hours on a boat, James drove for most of the time and did a good job. We then went back to our friends caravan (this is the couple we bought our van off) and had a barbecue. We have today been through to Yarmouth but it isn't the best of towns and is basically like Bridlington and we don't like Brid much!!!!.
We are going to spend a day by the broads again tomorrow and whilst me and James sit and fish Tracy is going to look around the shops in Wroxham, We saw a brilliant barbecue in one of the shops yesterday, It was only £59 but is a gas powered one, it has got a sturdy wooden trolley, two burners and comes with a griddle so we intend to buy it tomorrow and pack it in the boot to bring home so i can build it. The weather so far has been very good, we haven't had much rain (a couple of showers in the last couple of days and a torrential thunder storm today which only lasted 15 minutes or so and apart from this it has been quite bright and sunny, Tracy even got sunburned yesterday and I had to buy a cowboy hat to save my head from burning.

Oh how times have changed....I remember the days when you put Grandads best Ambre Solaire on your head to save it from burning...and he wasn't best pleased at you using his best cream just for your head lol.
i would say my head is more important than other peoples bloody arms and they think nothing about slapping sun tan lotion all over them, if you get sunburn on your arms they sting a bit, i get the sun on my head i get sun stroke!!!!
