It's been a long time! Last year in fact, since I posted on here! It's been a bit busy , what with grandkids, museum and some time up north and also Norfolk Island. The latter was a spur of the moment thing. Jill was cruising the internet and suddenly said, "Fancy going to Norfolk Island?" I felt like going anywhere! She had seen a good deal going so we went for 7 days of interesting history from families of the descendants of the convicts that were shipped here two centuries ago with the added input of Pitcairn Islanders and their Tahitian wives. As you can see from the picture, the language is a bit strange. A kind of mix of Old West Country English with a touch of Tahitian.
Nowhere can a ship berth here, so everything is lightered ashore, even trucks and buses.
Only one beach is safe swimming but every grassy area on the coast has a BBQ and a stock of wood for you to help yourself and a nice clean toilet!
