Royal Norfolk County Show
We visited a lovely small farm with animals such as
rabbits, goats, sheep and pony’s. We had a chance to feed and touch them making
for some great photos opportunities. We then took a stroll around the pristinely
kept grounds.
In Great Yarmouth we went to the Merrivale Model
Village, a beautiful attraction with landscaped gardens, streams, waterfalls,
miniature garden railway and an old penny arcade. 
Our first day at the Royal Norfolk Country Show! In the arena we
watched the Heavy Horse display pulling beautiful carriages and heavy farm
machinery. We also watched the local farmers proudly showing their prized pigs,
cows and sheep. We took a stroll around the various stalls and were amazed at
the size of some of the farming machinery. There were also many classic cars on
show and some very old and new tractors. 
Back at the Royal Norfolk Country Show for day
two! In the tents we looked
at the various stalls selling clothing, leather goods and lots of various types
of food before heading to the main arena to watch the show jumping and various
competitions with the horses and riders. We then sat and waited for the RAF Falcons Display Team to parachute out of the plane which was directly above us. What an
amazing sight all jumping and landing in the precise location marked within the
arena.
The weather was absolutely perfect so we headed
to the beach. We sat and relaxed in this amazing weather and later enjoyed an
ice cream.
At the bowling alley some great scores were made and everyone cheered
when strikes were scored.
On our last day we took a the steam train to Aylsham and back.
Everyone loved the slow and steady ride through the countryside admiring the
views. We then treated our self to the most delicious strawberry and cream tart
before some souvenir shopping. 
We also went on a boat for a tour of
the Norfolk Broads. A lovely big boat with plenty of space for everyone to sit
and enjoy the stunning views of the broads. We managed to spot rare sights of
beautiful birds and glorious types of sailing boats.
