Norfolk Holiday

We had a few days in Norfolk during the week after Easter, travelling down on the Tuesday and back on the Friday. Below are the pictures from the week with information where appropriate.



Our first stop was in Norwich itself where we visited the famous Coleman's Mustard Shop.




We then went to Hawkins Bazaar, the famous toyshop in the City.
