Another hopeless attempt at pigeon shooting, and time listening to the Budget Day speech and to the Bedford Arms for dinner with Wiggly today, ending up in her flat
I had hoped to get straight over to Mill Meadow this morning but it was foggy before I went to bed and foggier still when I woke up.

Winterton walk with Wiggly and Sam then watching Norwich City achieve a late 2-1 victory over Leicester City Football before taking Wiggly to see "Me and My Girl" at the Theatre Royal.

After my morning routine, driving from Paxton to Horning to see the Wroxham Builders progress in demolishing the old Heronshaw.
My cold developed further today and the symptoms really became uncomfortable. I still got out with Sam early and walked the girls to the bus stop as the fatherly thing to do.
