Dictionary corner.

I am not usually described as a 'man of few words' but I have learned a few more today as the Oxford English Dictionary announced some new slang words that are now accepted into the language. So, as I sit on the seat in the van 'man spreading' I am considered what I am going to 'brainfart' into todays blog but it will be the normal rubbish. You may question my state of mind but 'Mkay'!

We had a circular cycling route planned for the day as it was supposed to be dry.  It started rather grey and we did have a couple of showers but it was fine with some bright spells later in the day.

Our first stop of interest was Somerleyton Hall...

Don't look at Janice's hair as she has banned me from using the photo!  I know what you are thinking...'what is Janice's Nana doing on the holiday photos'?

We had our picnic at Lowestoft.  It was a bit grim and run down in parts but we wanted to get to the most easterly point of Britain seeing that we had been to the most Northerly point.  We will try and do the most Southerly and Westerly points next year.

Best picture of Lowestoft we could manage.

We wanted to see some of the Norfolk Broads but it's not as easy as you might think.  Probably the only way to see the Broads is to hire a boat.  The town of Beccles calls itself the Gateway to the Broads, so it's a good place to start.

Janice is trying to make Beccles look like the place of her birth, Eccles!

We went into the church and witnessed a Barn Owl flying display.  It was a surprise for us and I think the owl got a shock too.  We visited the Waveney River Marina for a coffee.  It was a lovely place with boats in the moorings and high reeds by the riverside.  The sun had come out and the cycling roads were narrow and very quiet....an absolute delight.

I did take my jacket off later...honestly!

Back at the site we had our favourite tea, poached eggs on muffin, yum yum.  At the site we are using our own shower in the van.  It will stand us in good stead for the 'World Shower in a Matchbox Championships'.  I think I have the record for the quickest so far, it takes about one minute and twenty seconds and I only use three thimbles of water too!  

A lazy evening with a crossword or two to do.  Maybe I will make up some more new words for the answers, I need to because I struggle to get the proper answers.
