De Lorean, and eyes, lips and hips

The farmer and I compared diaries this morning, and realised that we had an entire day with no appointments between us. Therefore we stepped into our diesel powered charabanc, and set off for sunny Norfolk, just for a jaunt. On the way we noticed this crowd/herd/flock/breakdown (?) of De Lorean cars in a Hotel car-park. One emergency stop and some polite enquiries later we were advised that they had travelled from all over Europe to laugh at each other's problems for an entire weekend!
Most vehicles had a VERY large toolbox hidden in the rear end, and one poor machine didn't quite make it out of the Hotel entrance before breaking down. The cars were, however, extremely beautiful, even now, so long after they came off the drawing board.

On to a tiny Norfolk market town friends think is the place to eat lunch at very least. So we did. At The Hoste.

And I took a toilet stop (yes it is the ladies loo, not a hairdressing salon)

And after a substantial main course the farmer and I shared this pudding, which was so pretty I had to take its photo. Obviously I am now sorry that I ate all those calories up without pausing for breath - but at the time I have to confess they were all absolutely delicious.
After a walk around the town, and a poke amongst more ladies hats than I have ever seen in one place, never mind one shop, we made our way home through some of the worst rain storms we have seen this year. Good old English weather.

Don't be fooled. They are time travellers in the vein of Back To The Future". Did you notice any of them bearing an eerie resemblance to Christopher Lloyd or Michael J Fox?

I'll look a bit closer at your pics to see if I can spot a clock tower. Hopefully they are not heading for the one at Skegness?

Well, Skegness would be DELIGHTED to host a gathering of such beautiful machines, though the driver/mechanics all looked slightly haunted behind the eyes... I wonder if you are right and they are all time travellers. Things not irmproved much in 25 years anyway. PS nice to hear from you, and how are the GRAND-DAUGHTERS!!!

Such cool cars, yet imagine trying to open one of those doors in the parking lot next to other cars, without scraping anything.

Gorgeous pub, and gorgeous ladies' room-looks like you could spend some leisure time in there, waiting for your bad date to give up on you and leave!
