Stabbings Must Stop

Can someone, somewhere, explain to me exactly what's going on in our streets? Are you, like me, a concerned parent, wondering what's happening to our childrens' world?

Norfolk Resident - Caravans Go Home

Once again I have to report that my basic European Right to a free and unhindered life has again been compromised by the tin can on wheels owners.

Sunday 26th August - Norton Hill Light Railway

Shhhh - Don't tell anyone, but me and Eddie2Socks finally met up with each other this afternoon, behind the "Make Us An Offer" Stall. At last, we have met! Really good to meet you E2S - roll on next time!

Having picked up E2S's suggestion earlier this week, I took my wife and the Cousins to Norton Hill Railway, and a good time was had by all!

We walked around all the stalls, tried our hand at Toilet Basket ball (trying to get a football to land in a toilet pan - in the middle of the field!), brought a couple of books (Don't you just love books?), had a cup of tea, then had THE RIDE.

Brilliant Fun. All these grown people sitting on top of this model steam train as we chuff-chuffed our way around the track, over the viaduct and through 2 tunnels. The smell of the loco as we went through the tunnels was really authentic, reminded me of the poppy line we went on the other day.

And, we'll keep today alive for ever. I recorded the whole train journey on our recently repaired DVD Camcorder, burned it to disc for our Australian guests, and it played on the telly beautifully. How I wish we had the camcorder when we went on the Poppyline!

One of our Austrailian cousins lost his glasses as they flew out of his shirt pocket but they were rapidly recovered thanks to his emergency running around the track before the next train left the station!

And if you came to the railway today, and saw two men huddled in deep conversation behind a stall, you unknowingly, espied me and E2S putting the world to rights. Well, we were, until the wife came to get me to go into the gents loos to recover our cousin who had mysteriously disappeared for ages. I took this opportunity to introduce my wife to E2S before she managed to drag me away.

Turns out that there was only one toilet for the whole event. Not fair. Organisers - portaloos needed next year please - surely some Portaloo company out there in Norfolk land would lend a unit to charity for a weekend.
