Houghton Hall and a slice of Richard Long’s Earth Sky exhibition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday we went to Houghton Hall. We had been planning a visit for a while, to see the Richard Long exhibition, which is\u00a0coming to an end in a couple of weeks’ time. We took the Hendersons, and the journey both ways was difficult \u2013 stuck behind slow-moving vehicles\u00a0on the way there and embroiled in rush-hour city traffic on the way back. Made the mistake of following sat-nav instead of checking the route I used to take, which would have been much better.<\/p>\n

Still, Houghton Hall is a lovely place \u2013 both the house and the grounds \u2013 and the exhibition was pretty good too.\u00a0It was worth it, even taking into consideration the high price of entry.<\/p>\n

The day before we’d been to the cinema to see Victoria and Abdul<\/em>, which was very well done, though I suspect that Abdul benefited from a bit of rose-tinting. Beautifully acted and directed.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday I went to the Archant coffee morning, with Maryta absent at something weird, like walking netball, and Dot and Paul at Horstead on a Diocesan DSSO Day, which apparently went very well. Meanwhile Dot’s car has been taken into Kwik-Fit to have its wheels refurbished, after I discovered that the front two\u00a0tyres had gone completely flat over the holiday period. It was supposed to be back today, but it isn’t.<\/p>\n

It’s turned chilly this week. Dot and I went to the supermarket today, and we both got in a walk. She walked to Morrisons and back, and I walked up to the Cathedral, playing my angel role to help a couple from West Norfolk who couldn’t find the room where they were supposed to be attending a meal.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, Morrisons is undertaking a complete refit. In Dot’s words, it looks a bit like Waitrose. Not a lot, because it’s only half finished, but I can see what she means.<\/p>\n

On Sunday Dot stayed behind after church to play ceilidh music with Anna and Phil, and I walked home. Felt very hot and took a while to recover. Think I was wearing too much. I have booked an appointment with the dentist because my mouth is very uncomfortable following the fixing of a new crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
