Friday.


This is the house (in Norfolk) where Ann grew up. We bought it from her father in 1977 when he and Gran felt they needed somewhere smaller. This is where Nea, her older sister, both her younger sisters, and her brother also grew up. I don't know where I shall grow up and have no immediate plans for doing so.
This morning we motored across to Wisbech, and went to Gran's flat. Gran said she didn't really feel like going out to lunch, so I went into town and purchased fish and chips (to be exact:- one portion of plaice, three portions of cod, two portions of chips, and two tubs of mushy peas). On going back to her flat arrived at the same time as daughter Kerry (from March - who was the planned recipient of the spare portion of cod). The meal was well wrapped, and therefore still nice and hot, and Ann had made a pot of tea. After we'd eaten the fish and chips Gran supplied puddings from her store cupboard. Altogether a very satisfying meal, and it was good to be together. Drove home via Welney and Ely, and took various photoes along the way, some of which will, D.V., be appearing in future episodes of this blog. Goodnight and God bless you all.

What a beautiful home Nea grew up in. Where are you now?

Hi Lori. We now live in a small (3 bedroomed) house in a mainly medieval street in a small town in Suffolk. Our present home is mainly 16th century, with a 14th/15th century undercroft, one wall of which is even earlier (possibly Romano British- small flint cobbles with brick stringing). It was for some centuries an old pub - hence the large, dry cellar, and suits us very well. Cheers, Mike.

Ah, that brings back some happy memories...I'm sure it was bigger though, when I was a nipper I was quite convinced you lived in a castle :-)
Lots of love,

Hi, Amy and Liam. Isn't it funny that as you get older things seem to shrink? Buildings you knew as a child; clothes left a year or so in a wardrobe (as we noted once before).......
Warm regards, Mike and Ann.

It looks better green than black, but white was best...I'm sure the door was wider when white.

It was beautiful, but it was also damp and cold, nice in the summer, but chillblainfull in the winter
