We’re back from our holidays and feeling quite rested, although the drive up from North Yorkshire today, where we’d been staying in the fishing village of Staithes for a few days was awful as it rained and rained and rained all the way up the M6. Normally, you see, it only starts raining when we cross over the border from England… (slap! ouch!)
More will follow in the next few days, but we were so pleased we managed to catch up with so many friends in and around the South East before we headed up to the Norfolk Broads for the main part of our holiday. Great to see Steve and Liz and family; Nick, Nathalie and family; Graeme and Helen and family (the second time in a month!), and Dave and Sharon too. Great that everybody seemed in such good spirits.
The Broads were wonderful. Weather was great to start with, and passable - if rather overcast - for the last few days. We saw lots of ducks, you’ll be surprised to hear. Plus a lot of other delightful wildlife. After our week, we had a dreadful drive up the east coast, but a lovely cottage awaited us in Staithes which worked out an absolute treat, and a great base for exploring the coast. I even managed to get a good amount of running in too, much to my relief (The Men’s health forum Scotland 10k is this Sunday).
Anyway, normal service will resume shortly. Didn’t get much writing done whilst I was away, but a few ideas that should appear soon. Anyway, must go. Lasagna almost ready. I’ve some Carb’s to load y’see
