Sunny Saturday Story

Last weekend, Jon brought Jess up to Norfolk so Rosie and her Bestie could have fun sans siblings. We looked after Jess on Saturday, and went into Norwich in the morning.
We began in Castle Mall, where there was a Toy Story Event

Overhyped and underwhelming. Jess went into the ball pond to find a magic red prize envelope. As far as we could tell, the cards inside all read "Sorry, no prize this time" or "You have won a free cup of coffee". Jess had the former, a number of grumpy children near us were saying "But Mum, I don't like coffee!" You could queue to be photographed with a real live character. But the line had about 30 people in it, no sign of 'character'. I asked nicely, and the assistant said yes of course Jess could be photographed in front of the cardboard cutouts.

We decided to go and do some history instead, and took Jess to show her the Castle now it has been refurbished. She loved the banquet in the Great Hall, and dressing up as a medieval princess.

In the gift shop, Jess tried on a medieval head-dress. [£15] It was time for lunch, so off to Christophe's Crepes

Then home, to make first a Father's Day Card for her Daddy, and second, a pointy hat! We used Grandma's sewing machine. And had a quick maths lesson- Jess learned to make a cone shape using a circle. 

Jess said her favourite parts of the day were looking at the pretend banquet food in the castle [eggs and almonds made of wood!], the ancient toilet [a plank of wood with two hole in it!] the lunchtime crepes, and opening her pink Barbie egg
She is growing up very fast!
