Easter in Norfolk
"So long as I am here, I might as well do some travelling and get my butt out of London for a change!" I thought to myself as my fingers rapidly tapped on the keyboard filling out the Host Programme application form. A week later, I got an email from the Host administrator saying I am to spend the Easter weekend in East Harling, Norfolk. "Perfect!" I thought, as I wanted to experience something totally different to London. And, truth be told, London is not really the best place to experience a typical British environment. Even though it is the capital of the UK, a large number of the population is international, which kind of neutralizes the British influences. Anyway, as I said, I was very excited to get to Norfolk and experience life in the countryside and yes, it was everything I thought it would be - picturesque, peaceful, relaxing and inspiring. I got to see lots of live country animals, such as cows, horses and sheep and the countryside abounds in weeping willows, which are my favorite trees. And at night, when you go to sleep, everything is so still and peaceful, and the only things you hear occasionally are muntjacks making strange noises in the fields around the house. But if you're a fast sleeper, like me, you don't even notice them. :-) It was definitely totally different to my place in London where police cars, ambulances and fire trucks go by every couple of minutes in full speed with the sirens to the maximum... Hahhahaaaa!
Oh, and another thing, I got to meet the Easter bunny! Yeeeeeeeeey! So whoever said that Easter bunny doesn't exist - was wrong!!! ;-)))
Anyway, pics are available for all of you who are interested at http://picasaweb.google.com/palachinka
so please, knock yourselves out! ;-)
To my hosts, Patrick and Jill, thank you very very much for inviting me to your home and helping me have so much fun! You will have to come to Croatia some time so that I can return the favor! :-)
