Life Touring the UK in a Motorhome - Cromer - East Runton - Great Yarmouth - Week 12

 TUESDAY, 18 NOVEMBER 2014 Week 12

It’s been another fun pack-filled week of travelling. First, we went to Cromer and discovered a lovely seaside town. So lovely, in fact, that the BBC TV film crew agreed and chose the quiet little traditional town as the venue for a new Agatha Christie drama.

We walked past a field commandeered by the film crew and lots of the vast, white make-up trailers and I was convinced it was the secret film location for Mission Impossible 4 because Tom Cruise had been making surprise appearances around East Anglia at the same time. We walked to the pier, and it had been cleverly refurbished to look like we’d stepped into a mini wormhole and travelled back to the 1930s. On asking around, we discovered it wasn’t Mission Impossible, but we can say we’ve been on a film set and can’t wait to see the programme just so we can sit there and say, “Ooh look, Cromer Pier, Hotel de Paris, we saw that!”

We were going to head up the road to East Runton, until we arrived at the next camping park. It was all grass and the receptionists only thought to persuade us to stay was “We’ve got a tractor to pull you out!” I don’t think so, deary.

We headed back down the coast to Belton, Great Yarmouth, where we had a social event to attend that weekend. We film fest and went to the movies to see Interstellar. I don’t usually live in space films as I have a fear of asphyxiation (underwater or in space, you always know at least one character is going cop it in a horrible ‘can’t breathe’ kind of way. 

But I did enjoy it because it challenged Einstein’s theory of relativity and time travel. A sort of Human Dr Who! Well, that’s how I saw it. My only gripe was the horrendous background music played over crucial moments in the film where crucial revelations were made. Apparently, there have been many complaints about that. All in all, it's a good film and worth a recommendation from Moi! The weekend was smashing. 

We stayed with friends near Pakefield and attended a Lions Club International event; New Century Lions Club EA were holding their 13^th charter and celebrating becoming a teenager the theme was spots! Great food, meeting old friends and making new ones and a bit of a boogie, although Wigfield ‘Saturday Night’ killed my calves and thighs… The lovely Taylor family (Including Charlie the Mad Lab!) put us up this weekend. And so, tired
but happy, it’s back up to Norfolk and Cley Nest the Sea.
