Day #28, rest day in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

  Note the plaque that says that Charles Dickens wrote part of 'David Copperfield' while staying on the sea front in Great Yarmouth.

        Rest day. No excuses, just enjoying the easy life. Already the painful shin splints seem to have reacted positively to the time off. The day started in beautiful warm sun shine which might have accounted for the racket from the sea gulls that awoke me too early. Grey skies rolled in over Great Yarmouth (GY) this afternoon.
     This town is the epitome of a time warp. Nothing that  I can see even indicates the decade in which we are living. The same old pensioners are huddled up on the sea front eating their egg & tomato sandwiches as were here 45 years ago, when I last visited. The city fathers seem to be totally asleep at the switch in terms of infrastructure improvement and investment as the whole town seems to be collapsing. Sorry to be rather down on you GY, but that's the way I see it.
