4 kids, 2 guinea pigs, one happy family: Holiday Homes -Royal &

The sylvanians choose to chill on the Rose of Sylvania

And we love to head to Granny's beach house at Snettisham.
We've just had a lovely 12 day holiday there.
It's so relaxing , 12 volt electricity, so no TV, washing machine or computer.

It's so nice to get away from Life in the town,

and for 12 days we lived by Norfolk time!

And this is our present Queen's holiday home, Sandringham House, yes a house not a palace!
We visited the house. You are not allowed to take photos, and there is a sign at the door saying 'please wipe your feet'. In my house people take their shoes off!!
We had been learning about the Royal family as part of our jubilee celebrations, so visiting Sandringham House finished off the topic nicely.

Next we went into the museum, where there is loads to see, including:

Gifts the Queen has received on various occasions.royal cars from bygone days

stables and carriages

Then the formal gardens, there are acres of parkland which you can explore for free, but there is a charge for the house, museum and formal gardens.

A golden buddha, coins had been left on his lap, so we added some too.
Following on with the royal theme, we drove down to Wolferton station, it was the train station to where the royal train arrived. There is no longer a train track here, and the station is a house. The man who owns it is very friendly and allows you to walk around his gardens, turns out he's originally from Barnsley too!

A long wait for the next train!And carrying on with the royal theme, here we are in Princess Diana sister's garden, Lady Jane Fellows. She has an annual garden party to raise money for the local church.Ideas of grandeur!

Whatever you do, wherever you stay this Summer,
I hope you have a fantastic holiday.
