Dec 8 - Great Yarmouth, England

After breakfast on this Sunday morning, Mr Gough and I walked along the beach several miles, and I piously paid homage to the little village and school where my Aunt Roberta ("Boots") taught school for a year. We took the bus back to Yarmouth town and he showed me where the former home of Boots stood. Bus back home - had lunch and a quiet afternoon of reading and writing. Watched TV until time to dress for the evening. At 7:30 pm Sheila and I took the bus downtown, walked to the tower ballroom. Although there was a large crowd and a good band, there was little dancing, but we danced the little that we could. Had my first "Lime and Lager," a really good drink. Walked along the beach for two miles home as the buses didn't run late. Had some snacks and to bed.
