[Music] Welcome to part 2 of our Norfolk Broads adventure. We woke up in Horning car park to a beautiful day. Parking charges kick in at 9:00 a.m. so we moved on to some free daytime parking and we are at Horning Village Hall Dave's doing his laundry and lovely border collie over there you can't park overnight here and you can't camp here but you can stop here you can stop here for the day so we're going to stop here and then we're going to go for a walk once I've had another cup of coffee and washed a nice cup of coffee oh you need yeah I need a good cup of coffee we tried making coffee from the water from the white water tank this morning and it just tastes a bit of sterilizing tablet so I ain't going to do that going to use tap water yeah wasn't great so yeah let's get that kettle on let's get washed and it's nice it's Pleasant yeah. So what did you think of horning car park when you stayed at great
nice location very handy for the pub and the river nice view of a bright red dumpster could I I you know I'm sorry I'm sorry to interrupt but could we close this cuz I can't see a thing look do that might actually stop some of the glare as well oh yeah that has helped there we go that has helped hasn't it a bit um yeah I I thought it was all right I mean it was free it's free quality yeah well so today what are we going to do today I don't know going to walk go for a little walk walk then we're going to drive then we're going to drink beer and we're going to sleep so here what's that nod mean that means go so here I am in my floppy hat oh all right here I was in my floppy hat so here I am in my floppy hat to protect my face and we're on a little walk and where are we we are in horning horning and over there is the RAF base the old RAF base and um we're going to head over that way and there's big Radars and everything over there and for once Dave's in charge of the camera with a big smile on his face cuz he's loving it in my floppy hat with my leopard print that's going um yeah so let's go walking let's go walking let's go [Music] walking what did you just say I said I didn't hear a word of what you just said but I'll follow you wherever you go what more could a woman ask for that's how much he trusts my navigation skills oh you know what these are I do they're called Oak apples they are indeed Oak apples how how are they made again I've forgotten there's a little wasp that comes along and lays its egg in the little bud like one of these so we learned about these on our trip to Dunwich two or 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago now and we' never seen them before and now we are becoming Countryside experts I bet you will be soon right should we carry on walking let's carry on walk this is quite a lovely little dip I expect it's a sinkhole not a bomb hole I think it is and I think it's still sinking cos the the corner there CLS and in still going so turns out that it could have been a bomb hole as in April 1941 a single German plane dropped 15 bombs in the area only one building was hit and that was the fery Inn the bomb hole versus sinkhole mystery continues Boy Scout is not going to have a compass on have got a compass too yeah bloody good one and that's North which way do we need to go south right never mind Maps use your GPS what's it called Compass no it's called I'll tell you you should have this app everyone should have this app GPS status it's got a level a compass you can drop GPS pins it'll tell you how far somewhere it's just everything that you could possibly want yeah and he does use it to check whether the van's level as well so yeah useful tool right let's get walking beautiful day our walk took us to Benedict's Church which dates back to the 13th century there's a yew tree we'll see what we've got inside we got a Dave inside going I'm going to leave my sticks there I bet it's going to be cold in here oh lovely you're most welcome to help yourself to a drink and a biscuit I've never seen that in a church before how wonderful is that isn't it then you have to leave a little contribution we've got change I we yeah box I've got all the change you gave me oh there's a little um elect thing yeah well this is inside the church of St Ben biscuit you're not dive straight bab is straight in there there's no biscuits left is there yeah chocolate biscuits chocolate biscuits as well biscuit I thought you were straight in there to get some biscuits so that is a remarkable roof I find the peace and serenity inside a church just so calming oh whoa what is this down here look at this that's like a pirate treasure chest the ironband chest is in fact the parish chest dated to the 13th century Parish chests were used to store important documents and items such as records of births deaths and marriages [Music] our walk took us back to the Village of horning you're sucker for a little passage way aren't you day oh an Avenue little Avenue little Avenue an Avenue little Avenue with little flowers yes it's lovely got pretty little flowers it is it's lovely pretty little flowers [Music] [Music] so I think Dave's missing out because last night normally he likes to work on things at night and today he's actually doing things during the day it's um technical drawing yeah for a thing that my my lad is going to 3D print for me yay it's going to be an awesome thing but that was quite a long walk you did today it was and doesn't work like [Music] [Laughter] [Music] that I don't not being defeated by a little plastic bag quite stressful quite irritating there we go but has succumbed well done to my Superior abilities your Domestic Goddess all right then next stop [Music] then just arrived at Red Lodge CL it's the caravan and motorhome Club CL and well let me just that's the view from our doorway today it was a little bit stressful getting here because the lat long directions that I was using from the Caravan Club website didn't take us to the right place so that was a little bit stressful. Thurne windmill was built in 1820 to drain the marshes for the farmers it ceased working in 1936 and was restored in 1950 the notice about this is a 2 miles walk up here to the wind energy Museum oh could show everything about wind energy yeah that's why there's so much wind noise [Music] we made a quick stop at Pub the lion [Music] This is the Church of St Edmund the Martyr dating back to the 13th century St Edmund was martyred by the Danes in 872 [Music] whenever I come in a church yard especially when I was a kid and there was a grave that was surrounded with metal like this I always used to think it was because there was a bad person that they wanted to keep inside the iron fences were erected around gravestones to stop wild animals from getting at the remains but it's also thought that they were place there to stop grave Robbers from stealing the bodies for medical research [Music] it's got another electronic donation thing there's also a donation point over there we can pop a little bit be the font this is a lot smaller than yeah a lot smaller and it's the Church of St Edmund very cute actually look at the lighting these LS these are beautiful that's not very spiritual is it Iwow that wasn't long after the steam train was invented died at the Aged of 44 years of age well it's a very sweet Church welcome to England this most green and beautiful land God's own country a short stroll after dinner You Bahhed all over him that one go on baH again. I asked him and he did that's lovely the most stunning Sunset I've ever seen number one it stops it from falling down if you don't have that that falls off there and drags it off all the way down it's just a little holder what's it made out of blue tack white blue tack it's just a job you're so clever it's a temporary Arrangement okay gosh we packed an awful lot in we have it's in some really lovely lovely places I think that's what happens when you move every night feel like you've done more than you have because you've had more change more new things you don't get bored of the surroundings then yeah yeah and the most stunning sunset tonight you can't wobble cuz you're wobbling everything wobble that's you that was me then cos I was showing you how a little wobble just wobbles everything maybe we need a a more sturdy um thing not maybe something suspense from something that would wobble with with us I don't know I don't know there's probably all sorts of things out there things all sorts of you made me jump yeah so sorry for the wobbles but um unlock look have you fixed the uh Hub door H sorry it's the H door not the Hub door yet so far oh look you see you're wobbling it again you wiggle your knees I'm going to have to stop you wiggling your knees stop wiggling your knees that's the trouble you never sit still even at home you sat there and you like this with your foot constantly while we watching telly [Music] yeah he definitely worn me out but I wouldn't change a thing of it I love the little village we went to on Friday a bit bizarre with the Scarecrow festival thing but they were scary so I wonder do they have a big bonfire I have to look that up they just put the scarecrows in the fields so that the seeds grow what's the purpose well scarecrows scare away birds so they don't eat the seeds in isn't that scare traditionally that's what they were originally for yeah so because the farmers are perhaps sewing their seeds because the farmers are maybe sewing their seeds maybe that's why they're having their scarecrow Fest maybe that would be an explanation me what do you think it's for then why I struggle to see a community deciding to all make scarecrows because the farmer own some seeds but yeah okay so if I had to guess I'd say um it's a middle class wee to get the kids doing something that's a little bit sort of uh Jolly Japes and jolly good fun that everyone can join in yes and um and isn't it wonderful you would you have joined in with that you would have done if the children would have wanted to you know you would have done maybe yeah you get one or two oh dear sorry it's no fun watching people yawn cos then you make other people Yawn. how many people make anyone watching that might be Yawning their heads off yeah it's been lovely I'm very glad that we've had a a bank holiday weekend to have an extra day away yeah we'll um enjoy the rest of our evening and and head off at some point tomorrow yeah I think it's probably 11:00 we've got to leave here I that's the standard time it's cassette day tomorrow it's the shittiest day of all I quite like some NBC clothing to a but I wouldn't want to bring that back to the van it be single use only I'd chck it straighten the skip afterwards waste yes or one of those cabinets where you put the cassette in then you put your arms through the gloves like a ra radiation yeah thing you good at it now you know what you're doing yeah but just when you think you've got the hang of it you know okay fine there's a tap for the hose on you stick that in you turn the tap on put a bit of water in you come somewhere like this and there's not a tap or a hose instead there's a system hanging on the wall what's the tap where and there is a hose on the bottom of the system right but once you turn the handle you're going to get the whole system's worth of water whether you want it or not it's like well if that overflows it's going everywhere and you can't turn on slowly it's it's a flush so it's just going to empty as fast as it can it's a shame because before you saw that to cassette toilet cassette emptying system here you were saying oh going to have to mark this one to come back if we can cuz that was a lovely view out there tonight that might have changed your mind odly people aren't very logical are they or very structured right how many good ideas have I come up with this weekend though I didn't say they I have good ideas but because I'm creative is I canect with these ideas and some of them you laugh at let's be fair and some of them you're like oh that's a good idea hadn't thought that so whereas I think technical people l people like yourself have this kind of like it's almost like a little um marble R in your head so like no it can't go that way and you got tilted the other way to find the right answer I don't know I probably offended people now but there's there's logical people like yourself tend to have like a like problem solve it so logical people have marbles and art people have lost their marble I think that's probably right that was funny oh dear oh dear Domestic Goddess at work got my lovely locks dear he's hung out the laundry to dry already on the fence he's already talking about cleaning the [Laughter] shower yeah empty the toilet cassette later as well putting that out of my mind all morning especially whil I was eating breakfast Red House CL don't follow the lat long directions cos they'll take you to the wrong place but can highly recommend pitch three Domestic Goddess has now finished boiling the kettle so we can have a cuppa. ready darling
