An Adventure to Norfolk
It was Will's Grandad's 60th birthday on Sunday and so we went to Norfolk for the weekend.
On the Saturday we got our trains to Norwich and there was a massive dinner with about 36 people which was really good. I didn't know who most of them were but it went quite well considering I'm socially inept around people I don't know. I even spoke to someone about wildlife photography and printers, imagine that.
When we got back to his Nan and Grandad's house I ended up with 2, yes 2, 35mm SLR cameras!! One donated from Will's Nan (a Praktica MTL5B) and one from his Uncle (a Minolta Dynax 500si). Both were going to be thrown away/given to a charity shop. I'm amazed by them. Gloria even gave me a roll of film so all I need is to find the right battery. I'm so excited to try them out.
Then on Sunday there was a massive BBQ and then we came home in the evening.
I only took 3 photos which is shameful but nevermind.
Before the BBQ Will took me and Holly (his Mum's dog) for a walk round the site (they live/work on a chicken farm).
That is when I took my 3 photos.

(This is Holly, she's lovely and every now and then she runs like a crazy. It's awesome.)
This is at the bottom of their land. It was a bit dry on Sunday but there were Coots living on it anyway.I'm always amazed and jealous by how much space they have.

Sleepy Grack
Not the best photo but...
Grack makes me laugh. He isn't even trying to squeeze past the rock, he is asleep. Sideways. And squished up against the glass.
He's a genius.

A Collection of Bird Cages
This is what I did yesterday.A collection of bird cages.
I'm going to get some prints done of this, I think it'd look nice framed.

Victoria and Albert with added Natural History
These photos are backwards in order of what we did but it would take far too much time to sort that out.
We went to London to see the Quilts exhibition at the V&A which I loved. It was really inspiring and I'd definately go again if I had the money. Will bought me a poster from the gift shop, I'm going to hang it next to my desk.
Then we went in the National History Museum to see the dinosaurs and decided we actually needed to have a proper look so we went and had lunch and then came back to it.
The dinosaur skeletons are amazing! And the animatronic T-rex was actually a bit scary once you were in front of it. It was like it was about to run at you. We went and found the Blue Whale which I don't believe is real. You just can't comprehend something that big swimming around. Insane.
Then we went and found some elephants on the way home.

That giraffe would fit in that whale and that's not even the blue whale skeleton!
Scary T.Rex
