Great Yarmouth/Torquay’s got style, personality

(Anyone else in the UK remember that advert?) Jazz hands everybody.

Ok, this is a little post I wrote for when we were going to Great Yarmouth in the Summer.

Because of my exploding blog I think most of you missed it, but I had such fun writing it that I’m posting it again.

In your head just replace Great Yarmouth with Torquay if you want it to seem more realistic and erm, current…

We’re off to sunny Norfolk today.

Hooray.

So I searched the photo stock.xchange to see if I could display any lovely photos of Great Yarmouth where we are heading for the next week…

… but all it came up with was a picture of a vomiting old man which it describes as ‘One of Great Yarmouth’s more amusing features.’ Hmmm…

I decided not to go with that.

So all I can leave you with are images of what Great Yarmouth will look like (in my head.)

Like this…

Nice isn’t it?

And I will look like this…

I know, I know a girl can dream, but there will definitely be lots of these…

(That’s smiles, not weird little floating acid tab type things.)

Hooray.

Sorry I can’t visit you all while I’m away, but we are sans laptop and there’s no room for the P.C. in the car.

Take care.

I can’t wait to visit you all when I get back and see what you’ve been up to.

P.S. Can somebody feed my Ostrich for me?

    I’ll feed her as long as she doesn’t bite me. Does she like cream cakes?

    Hope Torquay is groovy!

    I demand a refund! I visited Torquay in the summer and there were absolutely no swimming dogs. I feel cheated.

    (Ps. Your MiL didn’t book you into Fawlty Towers by any chance did she? Gulp!)

    Mya, she loves cream cakes. She’s a proper girlie girl really.

    Hi Choc mint girl, I like the sound of you already. Anyone with the word choc in their name has to be a star.
    Ta for visiting. Come back anytime. :D

    Picklesmum, I’m veggie too. I think she’d enjoy a quorn burger. :)

    RC, Barbara can have sweets as long as she brushes her beak afterwards.

    Cami ;-D

    Akela, my fingers are crossed on the weather. I don’t mind a bit of rain, but not too much.

    Kimberly, if only it were real…:-D

    Corey, thank you sweetie. I think you’re a star too. See you soon. x

    Napoleon, Oh my Lord, whose Emu did you feed? Barbara is an Ostrich. Must get Mr B to ring and check you haven’t been ‘done’ for breaking and entering and animal cruelty or anything.

    Susan, they are pretty pics aren’t they?
    Big sighhhhhhhhh.

    English mum, hee hee, it was a bit Fawlty Towers in some ways.

    21st CM, hee hee, I have great expectations don’t i??
    It was ok though. :)
