Bridewell

Thurs 25th Oct: Back to Norwich yet again, this time for the family dinner on Sunday. Dull drive back, but then that's a good thing. Still not sorted out the last eventful journey. Got taken out to some garden centre's Christmas shop after Nan's hospital appointment. Tea and then board games. Loving reading Little Dorrit on the Kindle.

Fri 26th Oct: Faffed too much in the morning doing the shopping to have time to do the Castle properly, so me and Ma went to the Bridewell Museum.

Having already been thrown out of one museum this week I thought I'd leave the costumes to Ma this time.

We learned that the Valentines Day tradition of knocking on the door, leaving a gift and then running away is a Norfolk tradition, but that the Dicky Valentine part is just a Leggett invention. We learned Norwich's history is full of weaving, and shoes and chocolate! We found reference to Mum's uncle Billy, and the factory where Grandad Leggett worked.

I found a bell from Loughbrough

Mum found Nan's pantry from Jex Road!

Very similar to Grandad's clock

Mum made me find our house. I am still hopeless. TGF GPS!

Speedway bike that used to race at the Fir's stadium just behind Tim's house

Old Canaries ground 'The Nest' at Rosary road. I worked briefly at Bertrams Books that replaced it.

I was in a very boring mood and refused to pose with Captain Canary!

No pencils in the gift shop.. NOOOooooooo!

Ma had to go to a leaving do, so I toddled off to Chapelfield to get Jon's birthday pressie. Managed to find some running tights in the Sports Direct jumble sale! No trainers still though. Big curry for tea, telly and board games. Must be practicing for Christmas.
