Why does everyone drive so slowly in Norfolk? We've just returned from a four-day holiday there and it seems that we spent half the time sitting in our car, following some granny in a BMW tank driving slower than a man could run (well one man anyway, Maurice Greene, who holds the record at 27mph)!
Anyway, when we finally stopped driving, we had a lovely time. We were staying at
Titchwell Manor, a wonderful family-friendly place which has been voted the best small hotel in Norfolk. Our room was lovely, but with just one problem - the curtains were not much better than net curtains. As such, we were forced to set up Leo's travel cot in the shower (being the darkest part of our room)!!! I wonder what the maid must have thought?
We spent some lovely afternoons playing on the beach at Wells and Holkham, followed by some great tea and cakes at
Holkham Hall (including the World's best cheesecake) and a lovely three course dinner back at the hotel. If you'd like to see some more photos, check out our
Norfolk 2007 online album.
Just as we were getting used to the Norfolk pace of life, we've had to return home. It seems everything is stuck in fast forward now!
