Things to do on a rainy day.

Today started a load of rubbish.  I say that because we were parked up at our wild camp site, near the church and school house at Stiffkey when we were rudely awoken by the dustbin wagon.  Fortunately there was enough space for the wagon to pass the camper van, so they didn't need to get me to move.  I had the image of me opening the van door in my boxer shorts (it's a funny place to have a van door) and driving away in my night attire....too much information!  Here is a picture of where we stopped.

Our destination for today is a CL at a village called Belton on the Norfolk Broads inland from Great Yarmouth.  On our route we stopped at Sherringham.  It's a nice seaside town with bunting across the Main Street and it has an old steam railway.

My only memories of Sherringham was a visit to Sherringham Round Table with a friend called John Morris.  We were staying overnight with the chairman of the local Round Table and he had invited us and a few local people round for quite a few drinks at his house.  It was a posh new house with beige carpets, so we all had to take our shoes off and leave them by the front door.  After a few drinks John and I had a mischievous idea to the split the pairs of shoes and hide them around the house.  We chuckled childishly as we did it and fortunately the hosts were amused too.  Silly boys!

We drove through Cromer.  It also looked a nice town but it had started to rain and we were pressing on.  We really liked the look of the villages and towns in this area.  They all seemed to have a traditional appearance and good pubs, although I guess many of the houses will be holiday homes.  The rain set in for the rest of the afternoon, so we did some food shopping and went straight to the site for lunchtime.

Having spare time to relax is still quite an unusual feeling for Janice and I.  We tend to spend our time by listening to the radio, doing quizzes and crosswords.  It's a real rock 'n' roll lifestyle!  We are certainly averaging one crossword every day.  Janice has saved the puzzle pages and crosswords from the Mail on Sunday for the last six months.  Doing the blog takes a bit of time too.  When we go to the pub or a cafe we have become wi-fi bores!  We sit fiddling with our phones or iPad and sipping a beer or coffee.....pretty sad ehh!

The evening has brightened up, so we will try a walk into Belton to see what it has to offer. Answer....nothing!
