More fun on the Grange

We have truly loved, loved, loved sharing this summer with friends from all over the world.
We know we're off the beaten track and are so appreciative when friends do come to stay.  (hint, hint!)

A few weeks back, my childhood friends, Lou and Neilo came to visit.  The weather was stunning to show off the Norfolk broads, walks to the pub, strolls around villages.

At the same time, my cousin's daughter, Madison and her boyfriend Mark also came from the top of England to us for a crazy visit of one night, but we made the most of it and it was just beaut to share some lovely time together, sitting by the fire and chatting way into the night.

It doesn't stop there... good buddies from HK, who are American and live in Shanghai, huh?  have just left us after a couple of fun days with them.  Capt Tickle (aka David) and Alison have two small knights who wish to marry their princesses, Tanzin, Taylor and Jaimie.


Supps at the Fox & Goose, Fressingfield.  Divine!

Be Wild Child

One of our favourite thing to do here is go to Bewilderwood.  Its the superb brainchild of Tom Blofield who inherited a large woody marshland. In 2007 he opened this fantasy adventure park that has Boggles and Twiggles, slippery slopes, zip wires and tree climbing adventures.  We've been going there every summer since Tanzin was 3 years old.

Today was wonderful to finally share it with Grace, Emily and little bro, Aiden.

Summer

FINALLY, it was a scorching weekend! We are all going to bed tonight exhausted & with sunburnt faces.
Celebrations all over England for Wimbledon Champ, Andy Murray and unfortunately (for us Aussies) the Lions! 

BTW, If you get the chance, Im absolutely loving and highly recommend the bbc tv series & book, The White Queen by Phillipa Gregory.  http://www.philippagregory.com/books/the-white-queen
