NR27 9DS From The Editor I am back at last after just under three weeks in The land of the long white cloud. Be assured there were few days of overcast weather during what most logically minded good folks would describe as being rather a short trip to the other side of the world. I should add that after such a long flight, just over a fortnight spent in New Zealand is not very long time to catch up with friends and I recall a number of great trips family out there. I would suggest flying with my father when he that if you ever consider visiting was the co-owner of a Tiger NZ that you allow at least four Moth, particulary when he weeks to get around the place, flew it upside down. or even longer if you want to Also on Page 8, there is a very see it properly.

Everywhere we went there were people in their 40’s gear, from wounded soldiers to ladies with seams in their stockings & wonderful hats, fox furs and lovely floral dresses to whole families dressed in style from head to foot.

Even Winston Churchill was even there or was it his ghost we spotted in the train?

Railway men, nurses, housewives & soldiers, were there along with the classic cars, buses and the wonderful steam trains.

The shops had great Window displays with everyone joining in the fun and all over the town really jolly banter was going on.

The couple of hours we spent in Sheringham were delightful and thanks so very much to everyone who took part and many thanks to Eduardo Garcia for these photographs. LK. 6 Crab Tales: 30 West Street, Cromer, Norfolk. NR27 9DS NOW AIR CONDITIONED CAFE
