  Potters Leisure Resort We love our holidays at Potters! The friendly staff always make us feel so welcome and there are so many wonderful activities for us to join in with.  With our bow and arrow in hand we did our best Robin Hood impressions trying our hardest to hit the bullseye! Everyone did a great job and proudly wore their medals around their necks for the rest of the day!  Every night we were wowed by 1st class entertainment! There were such a variety of shows performed by the incredibly talented team. In true JollyDays style we danced the night away to the live music.  The art room got our creative juices flowing and with different coloured materials we created some masterpieces to take home.  It was game on down at the bowling alley where there were high scores and strikes galore!  Most days we challenged each other to a game of pool and enjoyed keeping a tally of who was winning. We also loved playing giant Jenga and we did all laugh as the bri...

Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside  Oh we do like to be beside the seaside and what better way to start than down by the beach with an ice cream treat! We took to the water on our cruise liner and sailed peacefully down the Norfolk Broads spotting wildlife and admiring the impressive houses that lined the banks of the river. We each got to have a turn at being Captain and all agreed that we did a pretty good job!  It was another exciting day on the broads and today it was our turn to do some work on the canoes! We were split into two groups and were introduced to our instructors. After a bit of practise, we had soon mastered the technique and were paddling in synch, working well as a team. Two glorious hours were spent gliding along the broads, spotting more wildlife and enjoying the calmness that surrounded us. It was off to Holt and the Poppy Railway and as luck would have it as soon as we arrived the train steamed down the track. We were soon relaxing in our seats as the...

  New Forest & Hampshire County Show Two fabulous days were spent at the County Show which was full to burst with different breeds of animals. It was great to be so close to them and we even got to stroke and feed some of these fluffy sheep. There were tents galore of wonderful homegrown produce and flowers, all hoping to win the all important first prize rosette.  At the main arena we watched a fantastic show jumping competition. The beautiful horses and their riders were very skilled, and it was really exciting to watch. We couldn't believe the size and strength of of the Shire Horses as they pulled their carts around. We explored the livestock area and got to see many different rare breeds of cows and sheep. They were all very well looked after and some of them were quite friendly and appreciated the fuss we made of them......as did these beautiful hunting dogs!  The farm machinery on display was amazing. So many old fashioned tractors right through to modern ...
