Freddy's back in town

Well that's the holiday over for another year. We've just spent a week in sunny/rainy Norfolk staying in a caravan and although the weather hasn't been the best we all enjoyed ourselves.
Picture of our holiday home in Norfolk.This is a picture of the caravan which was our "home" for the week. Although I wouldn't want to live in one all the time, it was comfortable enough for the week. The kids loved it and thought it was a great adventure. All the bedlinen and cooking utensils are provided, so all you have got to do is buy the food and cook it. Mind you, it's a bit of a trial cooking on a Calor gas stove, but we managed.
We set off at 10.30 am last Saturday and rolled into the "Holiday Village" at 6.30pm. It normally only takes about 4 hrs to get there, but the wife wanted to stop off at the lavender fields at Norfolk Lavender on the way down. She took her time looking around as well, but the kids found the adventure playground, so at least that stopped them moaning. We also took the longer, but more scenic route down the coast road, which is 20mph in places.
After unpacking, we had a quick look around and then settled down for the night. No sooner were we in bed when there was an almighty thunderclap and the heavens opened up and of course it sounded very loud on the tin roof.
Great I thought.

...continues to-morrow.
