Of course – they don't want us to see how bad it really is.

Because I heard the song twice while in England, and wanted to know what it meant.
London
Photos from our stay in London on the last two days of our England trip.
Stow Bardolph
We visited the Hare Arms Pub in Stow Bardolph one evening, which was a charming place and very entertaining because they keep chickens and peacocks in the gardens.
The last excursion we went on while visiting Stacy and her family was to Church Farm in Stow Bardolph, which is a really cool children’s play farm where they preserve rare animal breeds and support them by running a children’s play area where they can learn about the animals and pet them.
Castle Rising
Today we visited Castle Rising in Norfolk and had a picnic near the castle. It was built around 1140 AD. The Castle that is. The picnic came much later.
Cambridge and Punting on the Cam
Today we visited Cambridge and went punting on the Cam, and later did some shopping.

Saw one today in Ely, hence the look up on wikipedia.
Bircham Windmill, Norfolk Lavender and Hunstanton
Today, we visited the Bircham Windmill – a real working windmill and farm in Norfolk. We climbed up five stories to the top of the windmill and I took tons of photos. Mom even climbed all the way to the top, and she’s very afraid of heights. We also watched sheep being milked, chickens running around, and had snacks.
We visited Norfolk Lavender briefly and looked around, but they were closing so we didn’t take the full tour of the farms. It’s a large lavender farm – smells heavenly.
After, we drove up to the Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton to walk along the beach, eat fish and chips and play at the penny arcades. We won Peppa Pig and George for Annabelle at the two-penny coin game, but I utterly failed to win a meerkat from the claw machines. We teased Mom into playing air hockey, and she did quite well at it against Annabelle.
We had a lovely day.
