Had a couple of delightful days in Norfolk, a very nice dinner at the Trowel and Hammer in Norwich, sort of an Italian style menu with British beer so a very good combination really. Steak for me with a great pile of Rosemary potatoes, very tasty but maybe needed fewer potatoes & a little salad with it and Tara had a veggie risotto which won her seal of approval. All in all a very good meal, had a wander around Norwich with a couple of coffee stops as well. All very pleasant.
Then we went on to stay overnight with our Nephew and his partner near Thetford. Just us staying this time, last time it was with the boys and Ella & Julian as well.They really are making their mark on their house now, it is becoming very homely. After a very good dinner of veggie musaka they took us to the local quiz night. An event that happens five times a year and proceeds go to a local group of some kind. It was very popular and we were shoehorned into the middle of the function room, there was 22 teams of between 4 to 6 people, we were pretty well rammed in! I thought we'd do well in the quiz but ended up coming 10th out of the 22. Not too bad, the points between the teams were just about as close as they could be. It was great fun. After a restful night we went to the local whiskey distillery that also has a café serving a very good full English breakfast, another place that seems to be grasping the idea of gluten free as Tara had some choices as well! We bade farewell here and headed home after a really good weekend, we'll have to try coming over in the summer next time as the weather was freezing!
