Norfolk, tractors and gin

So, not such a good day on Friday. The health visitor told me that with PND you have good days and bad days and that what they are looking for is for the bad days to get less frequent and also not as bad. The pills can help as they can (as in my case) help with sleep and energy but in combo with other thing like exercise, omega 3, gardening or other crafty pursuits and trying to get some time for yourself. I think things are definitely getting better so hopefully this trend will continue, in particular if I keep up the baking (!). On Friday I think it was the combination of heat, trying to pack the car, deal with unhappy Isobel ( mainly tired!), clear up arty's reflux vomit, feed them etc etc and then get on the road to sunny Norfolk before the traffic gets really hideous! Peter was at work and we were meeting him here. We made it!

Isobel was much happier once in the car and in particular when we stopped at Wicken Fen for some ice cream - god bless the man who runs the cafe there who had a host of magic gadgets to distract hot and grumpy toddlers! We counted the tractors on the road - amazing numbers (well, we counted 10 in half an hour) pulling potatoes and onions which you could smell a mile away. Bodes well for nice food on holiday. Cottage is in Burnham Market which we have now found out is also known as 'Chelsea by sea' presumably due to prices and the large number of 4WD which don't look like they have ever seen any mud.

Entertainingly all the cottages in North Norfolk which we looked at were really small and only with double beds.....a double bed for 2 weeks with a giant husband was not something I was looking forward to so this little cottage (Sea Lavender Cottage) is great as it has a kingside bed! Hooray. And Isobel showed no fear going up and down the very steep staircase like she was on speed or something! Put them to bed and enjoyed a lovely gin whilst awaiting Peter. God bless Gordons. Although I do like the Bombay Sapphire! Must remember that drinking doesn't help my sleep though.
