TBH, blogging this 2 weeks later, I am not at all sure what happened on Monday and Tuesday. however, Wednesday was my bnirthday and to celebrate we went out with friends to Grimes Graves in Norfolk. It is a bit of a trek for us, but closer to our Suffolk friends, so primed for a good day out . I did take a slightly different route to planned, and had a wibble am i lost moment, but back on track and we were still first to arrive. The graves have nothing gravish about them, and it was a name added to explain the appearance before archaeology took off. Really they are prehistoric flint mines, where they are backfilled with rubble from the next mine. You can go down the shaft of one, adn there is an interesting museum. We had prewatched some programmes on flint knapping, and prehistoric Britain, and grimes graves featured in these. There was an archaeologist on site who took the children through some of the finds of flint arrow heads etc.
After we had visited the mine we had a picnic and then the kids did lots of playing in the sunshine whilst the larks sang overhead. Perfect.
There was some bunnying about as kfish was looking to create a photo tableau for Easter and then we went on to Brandon country park and more playing, but my camera was out of charge. G and I had a good old natter and catch up.
