Back in time again –  about 34 years. This is my son David and his mother, probably shortly after moving to Norfolk in July 1972, when I started 30 years’ work at the Eastern Daily Press. We may have been staying at my mother’s in Norwich at the time, or possibly at Dot’s parents’ house in North Walsham. We moved into our own house in the November – Holly Bank, Yelverton, where we stayed for 12 years. It seemed a long time.

Today is a bit milder, and David is bringing his own son and daughter to our house tomorrow. Our kitchen has just been upgraded – the tiler finished today, and Dot has quickly brought the entire house up to scratch. Hope today’s rain eases off tomorrow.

Have just discovered that the person who owned the care home at Cromer, and who looked after Dot’s mum so well, died on March 11 – Alison McCrory. Bit of a shock.
