We set of bright and early to go Norwich and arrive before it gets dark. Quite what dinosaurs have to do with cancer I
have no idea but I love the way he is about to eat the van.
We have hardly been in the hotel for 5 minutes before we set off on a trip which ends up with us seeing
Me and Orson Welles
which is truly brilliant. This, of course, explains why the cinema is totally empty.
We set off home in the rain. And arrive in the rain. There is a tantalising hint of sunshine but we never seem to get
to it.
At long last, the road under the canal on the way to Dunham Massey has been fixed. A small step for mankind but a big step for people who drive up and down the road on their way to the Trafford Centre.
Today we do some comprehensive wandering about and end up in the centre of Manchester, which is still dominated by the
Beetham Tower.
Later we go to see
Planet 51
which could have been good but isn't. At least, the bit I see before I fall asleep isn't.
Today we set off for Sunderland, which is seriously up North. On the way we pass a Navistar International® MXT-MV. Wow, I
want one. Not sure what the funky saucers are for on the back but they look really cool.
On the way back we have Hot Mochas in Bettys in Harrogate - well worth a 300 mile round trip. We had hoped to go and see
The Men Who Stare at Goats but I miss the turning so we go home instead. Maybe later.
On Friday night we have a bit of a party but some people get carried away.
In the morning I give my head an almighty crack on a low doorway and wonder if I should rush off to hospital -
Natasha Richardson
died on a ski slope from a bang to the head. I decide that since tall people bang their heads badly at least
once every couple of years (more in my case), the risk must be overstated - otherwise there would hardly be any tall
people left.
In the afternoon we go to Ruthin to eat at the new craft centre cafe. Quite why they needed to pull down the old centre and
build an almost identical new one I cannot even begin to imagine. Still, the cafe is magnificent - and so is the food.
The sun is low and bright and we manage to get home before it is really dark.
