Breathless Norfolk!

Norfolk -a low-lying county in East Anglia, England, is without doubt one of the most beautiful places on the face of this earth. Vast beautiful fields of strawberries and cherries add beautiful color to the surrounding yellow wheat growth. Gorgeous houses in scenic settings most of them built with castle like bricks, speak of its historical grandeur once inhibited by dukes and Earls. The entire neighborhood has a touch of ancient monarchy and mark of magnificence.

II was staying at sheringham, a seaside town - right out of a fairy tale!! Thing I loved the most about the place was its serenity, the calmness and the beautiful weather that added to the overall perfection.
When I was young, I loved to read “the magic faraway tree” by Enid Blyton, over and over again. The book was magical and written in a country setting, every time I read it, I would imagine a place like sheringham!! Although sheringham has a commercial side to it, is very much developed and also has no enchanted wood or any wood at all but it was definitely very close to what I had imagined the place in the book to be like!!

Interesting Journey....

khaiiiirrr....now we are at sherangham Norfolk county in East london havent seen any of it till now...came late at night after an eventful journey......i had high fever and cant remeber much of wht happened but all i kno is that we left Nothholt London (SB's place) at around 11:30 and were supposed to reach at around 1 in the night but reached at 3 AM!!and guess y?! we had a flat tyre !!! imagine aik flat tyre took 1 and half hour ......to get repared..not like here in pakistan ......where it takes only a few minutes .....S uncle tried changing it and realized that he didnt have the right equipment so he called the insurance company AA.....who sent a representative at 1 at night from Luton which is approx 100 miles (1 hr drive away)......we waited for him in the cold as there is a rule that if sumthing happens to the car and insurance ppl are on their way u need to step out of the car!! i went out but soon S uncle realized that ill freeze to death if i stayed out (although i was wearing 2 jackets courtesy jajo) ............so he switched on the heater and i slept inside while the 3 of them waited for help!
the guy came after a hr and a half and diagnosed the problem......these was a cap over the screw which needed to be removed in order to open it with the jack that S uncle had ! funnyy....basically we waited so long for some poor guy to come this far only to remove a cap and the wheel was changed within 2 mins!! no exagerrations literally it took total 2 minutes for the entire process........

we started our jouney again and stopped when S uncle dosed off while driving !! and jaj had to literally shake him to stop the car..... we forced him to take a nap b4 moving any further...and we all napped in the middle of no where...had i not been drugged ...... id be shit scared ;) ......

anyway...we reached home at 3AM in the night and S dragged me upstairs to bed ...... and i was done for the day.......
