Only in England


Well we've spent the past few days visiting Norwich. Our hotel looked out over the cathedral gate, and we spent a peaceful few days exploring the city centre while the kids stayed with their grandparents in Lowestoft.

So after a nice day out utilising the old National Trust membership at Blickling Hall (excellent second hand bookshop) and Felbrigg Hall (got totally lost in the woods!!) we got back to the hotel and spied two sets of what appeared to be morris dancers jigging away outside the local pub.

It is a bit blurry in the picture but there were around 30 of them in two groups doing rather complex footwork, some in clogs, some in bells and some with rather large leafy arches. It turns out that they turn up and dance outside a different pub every Monday night, so if you happen to be in the area you never know you might just spot them.

Hmmm, don't tell Jason, but .... only in East Anglia :) Am still recovering from the unexpected folk weekend whilst visiting cousins in Broadstairs; is it possible to be mega-morrised out?

Hope everyone made it to their various sports and swimming days and the girls are already plotting for Elinor and the sleepover .... I think I shall decamp to East Anglia for some peace and quiet LOL!
