Our first stop had to be at the Hockering Post Office to withdraw some cash. However, we weren't banking on the system being down. We went back home to fetch a different card and try again. Strike two. Back home again we went and without another ATM in our village and no apparent way to get out of Hockering, we were starting to get that sinking feeling. Plus, the kids were starting to wonder why we were walking up and down the same road all morning...
After searching all pockets, bags and secret stashes, we realized that we had just enough pennies to get one adult to Dereham (in the opposite direction) - if only to get to the cash machine and come back again. #weloveunderfivestravelfree
I pulled the short straw and eager traveller, Jorja, was only too keen to accompany me on this quest. We sat upstairs in the front row, just the two of us. After a silly start to the morning, we were now enjoying precious time together sitting arm in arm on a bus trip to nowhere.
The operation at the ATM took all of 5 minutes and we had picked up the boys and were standing on the opposite side of The Street waiting for the bus to Norwich in good time!
Also, for the first time, we took the bus back home this evening. (We then realized that we should've bought Returns for every trip we took in, and we would've saved a couple bucks!).
See if you can notice the tread lines on the grass from the over-worked stroller!
nothing like a girl's morning out!
