Nelson Museum















This is a picture of John in front of the Norfolk Nelson Museum in Great Yarmouth. It's a pretty neat place, and very kid friendly, which meant there were things for me to touch! We learned all about Nelson as a leader, a strategist, and a husband (not sew gud on dat count, akshully). I really enjoyed the explanations of how he won some of his big sea battles. I was not, however, thrilled that a "sleeping rat" was in one of the Georgian room feely boxes. We now own a Nelson encyclopedia so that we can look up anything relating to Nelson we might want to know at any time. And John picked out set of ship book ends.


Here are some pictures from yesterday's trip to the Imperial War Museum. I was too lazy to go upstairs to get the camera when I was writing in my blog last night.

Not for the Wrestling

John and I went to Great Yarmouth today to see the ocean. It was our first time riding the train. It was pretty easy and not a long trip.

Here are some old British men playing lawn bowling near the beach:














There is a wind farm in Yarmouth:














And some other pictures of the water:
