People come, people go.
The weekend following our Whitsun Week aboard Bandicoot my parents came to stay. The plan had been for us to go to them but in the end it was not practical to do it that way. On the Saturday we went out to the coast for a drive and, although I had left my “proper” camera at home I was quite happy shooting with the P&S. We ended up going to places like Caister and eventually Happisburgh where we spent a lot of time looking around the church.
On the Sunday it was off to Banham Zoo, our first trip this year and only second trip ever. Last year the weather had not been kind and it was brilliant this year either, but it was better (relatively speaking). That was the opportunity to dig out the proper camera and see what poses I could grab from some of the animals.
A week later our guests were friends (and former neighbours) Nathan & Jo from before we moved to Norfolk. We followed the usual formula whenever they visit of Mini Golf at Wroxham Barns and day boating from Wroxham.
On this occasion we decided to do the boating on Sunday and when we did we also headed in a different direction too - not down to Salhouse Broad this time but the other direction, under Wroxham Bridge and up to Coltishall. Again the weather was very overcast and dull, raining at times, but it was a good trip on the boat and Nathan & Jo’s three young children certainly seemed to enjoy it. The rest of the time we spent just chatting in the house.
The following week finally saw the carpeting on Bandicoot finished off but still work remains on the headlinings and on the mechanical issues. With it looking unlikely that we would be able to get this work done in time for the holidays we planned to cut our week out down to just the initial weekend to attend another forum meet, this time at the Waveney River Centre, and then head off for a few days in The Peak District. However a few days before the holiday a sudden and dramatic change in personal circumstances forced a complete change of plan.
Pictures from the week I had instead will be posted once I get a working computer on which to process them!
