I hope you are all ok. Are you ready for Christmas?
So I came back from a long weekend in Norfolk yesterday. It was really lovely but a little cold.
We stopped to look at the Bure Valley railway on the way to dad's auntie and uncle's house and had a wander around Wroxham. We didn't go on the railway but it was nice to have a look at the really nice bookshop on the station (I bought quite a few books too).
On Sunday we went to the North Norfolk railway to have a look, then around Sheringham and Cromer; we didn't buy any crabs though!
On the way back on Monday we drove down the coast to Great Yarmouth. The front there is very long and very impressive. It's a shame more shops weren't open on the front but is the winter season.
After we left Great Yarmouth we stopped off at Bressingham Steam and Gardens to have a look around, there is a huge locomotive in the car park from Finland there which I got to have a quick sit on.
We then stopped in Thetford and had a look at the buildings that are still there that were used by Charles Burrell and Sons to build thier traction engines. There aren't many buildings left now and one of the ones we saw is being knocked down and flats being built on the site; it's a shame but the building is crumbling down. It was great to see the buildings where some of my favourite traction engines were built. I hope one day to visit the museum there.
After all of that at the weekend I'm a little tired so I might pop back to sleep in a bit.
It's really looking like Christmas here now with the tree up and decorated and tinsel everywhere. I'm getting very excited about Christmas now.
I hope you all have a lovely week.
Lots of love
Ben
