Potters Leisure Resort with Russell, Netty & Barbara

 Potters Leisure Resort 

We had arrived at the fabulous Potters Leisure Resort and it had been decorated in Christmas decorations which made us feel very festive indeed.

It was down to the archery shed where everyone practised with bows and arrows, and we all surprised ourselves by hitting the target …. with Luke even scoring three bullseyes! Everyone received a medal and we all proudly wore them around our necks.

Rifle shooting was next on the agenda, and we had such fun at this activity with our new friends. Our expert instructors carefully showed us how to load the rifle, how to position ourselves, take aim and fire. We were all so thrilled when we looked at our scores. 

Every evening we were treated to fabulous live shows. ‘Night of Variety’ show as one of our favourite - a sensational variety performance covering everything from musicals to Motown. It was a magnificent show of laughs, music and stories. We sang our hearts out throughout and loved every minute. 

It was time to get creative down in the arts and crafts room where we painted terracotta plant pots. We all were very proud of our masterpieces.  


It was off to the Norfolk Broads where we boarded our very own river cruiser. The sun shone down on us as we tucked into our picnic lunch. The scenery was spectacular, and we felt lucky to be sharing it with each other. What a calm and peaceful afternoon. 

Wow! What a fun experience it was getting to ride round the windy paths on the Segway's! 

We travelled to the seaside resort of Great Yarmouth to enjoy a little more competition by playing ten pin bowling. Everyone tried their hardest and showed great sportsmanship in cheering on their fellow team members. An enjoyable time was had by all. 

There were several  games of darts and snooker which was good-natured, competitive but very enjoyable. 

We loved making a splash in the onsite pool. Catherine and Luke competed to see who could swim the most lengths whilst Stephen loved floating and Nicola preferred swimming in circles. Everyone enjoyed it so much.

    Cyprus Sun     Our hotel was fantastic! We all loved relaxing around the swimming pool or down the beach which was only a few meters away. In the evening we all enjoyed dinner on the terrace with stunning views. We went on the original open top red bus tour to the Turkish side of the island. We had a tour guide giving us a commentary on board about the sights we saw and the history leading up to the Turkish invasion in 1974. We toured the walled city of Famagusta and saw the ghost town left unoccupied since the war.  We spent our evening in town exploring the buzzing streets and listened to live music in fantastic bars. We also took part in friendly pool tournament. We took a boat trip along the coast where we explored the caves of Cape Greco and visited the Blue Lagoon where some of us swam in the beautiful clear water.  The hotel entertainment team was fabulous!  There was musi...

Attractions of Blackpool with Matt & Jackie

 Attractions of Blackpool  Oh we do love to be besides the seaside and we couldn't wait to head up the infamous Blackpool Tower. The views along the coastline were spectacular.  We managed to step onto the famous Ballroom floor and watched some of the dancers glide gracefully around the room.  It was time to get up close and personal with all of our favourite celebs at Madame Tussauds. We couldn't believe how much they lifelike they were! There were Coronation Street legends and some pretty iconic pop stars for us meet. Next up was some of our sporting heroes. We couldn't resist a picture with Boris and of course King Charles. Our next stop was the Blackpool Dungeons! From the moment we entered we were greeted by the "Black Jester” and we could tell this place was not for the faint hearted. The characters and scenarios played out by the excellent actors were a reflection of Britain's brutal and often savage history. The final room had us all terrified as we...
