A massive three weeks since I last blogged! Maybe I ought to change the daily adventures part of my blog description!

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.

Our last full day together. We decided to show our cousins some more of our English history so we made today Muckleburgh day. We were also honoured by the prescence of our son and The Teenage One.

This is the first time either of the kids have been out with us and their cousins on our adventures. Although the Teenage One did take some coaxing (having had to wake her up three times) we considered it important that the whole family spent the day together.

So, at 10am (ish) we set off in two cars. The family comprised of me, the wife, the two cousins, The Teenage One, the son, and the Mother In Law.

Muckleburgh is a brilliant collection of miltary and air force vehicles, neatly arranged in clean displays. Collectors World - are you taking note? Although the vehicles are good, it was the World War Section that really got my attention.

For the first time in my life, I have actually seen a ration book and a set of call up papers (one white, one green) and Montgomerys actual, real signature on some demob papers.

Each display could have told a hundred different stories, the displays of medals won by men far greater than I could ever be have been preserved for prosperity, as I believe all the men have now died. The military ambulance especially, complete with it's field medical kit and stretchers in the back would have some horrendous tales to tell from it's working life.

The photo attached to this blog shows our two cousins standing by the Muckleburgh entrance sign.

I have, also, preserved yesterday for ever. As it was our last day together I recorded everything on camera and camcorder. The day went by in a flash, I wanted it to last forever.
