So I pointed them to my daily blog and got a few new bloggettes - a win win situation.

We recently decided that we are old enough to have an electric blanket. It does make the bed lovely and warm. Only problem is someone has to brave the upstairs cold to turn it on every night
We try not to heat too many rooms. I don't like to see the old smart meter spiralling. So we do everything we can to keep the costs low and that includes wearing our new very warm hoodie things and only putting the central heating on for a short time.
There's two reasons we do this. Firstly obviously to save money and secondly because I want to give as little as I can to the energy companies.

Woke up yesterday to a very wet day which was a real shame as we are off to North Norfolk and I am keen to get some late Autumn photographs.
Was reading an article about Wighton Church where the tower collapsed in 1965. Luckily nobody was hurt but the tower fell in a storm. A hugely generous donation from a Canadian man Leeds Richardson, who had ancestors from Wighton, allowed it to be rebuilt. Definitely worth a visit in the near future methinks, maybe even this week.
We are limbering up for the big switch on of Holt's Christmas lights on Friday evening. There's fireworks as well. I'm sure my camera will accompany me.

Had lunch at the Village Inn in West Runton. I'm not sure that I've ever been there. There is a blue plaque on the wall in memory of West Runton Pavilion that sadly is no more.
In its time West Runton Pavilion was very famous in the world of rock music. The plaque states that acts playing the pavilion included Chuck Berry, T Rex, Black Sabbath, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Jam and The Stranglers. In other words in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s West Runton was a big deal in the rock music world. It was demolished in 1987. Now this confuses me.
It confuses me because I lived and worked in Cromer from March 1974 until August 1975 and I cannot remember ever being aware of the venue, let alone going there. Maybe I wasn't into rock music so much in those days.
