Ben suggested I explain why our blog is called Norfolk Exposure. Do you remember this TV series? We were/are huge fans. The year before last, we watched the entire series on DVD - all 6 seasons worth. I think we averaged 3 episodes a night. When it was over I actually missed the characters - it felt like they were part of my extended family. In my day dreams I wondered what they were up to! I still pine for 'Chris in the morning' and his insightful, poetic ramblings. If only I could turn on the radio and hear his lyrical voice every morning. Ben loved Adam the best, and what an extraordinary character he was. To imagine that one man could have achieved so much and be so accomplished at so many different things was ridiculous but amusing none the less. So what does all this have to do with living on Norfolk Island I hear you ask. Well if you compare climate and location then obviously we are worlds apart. And unlike Joel Fleischman, who couldn't wait to leave Cicely, we fell in love with this picturesque island pretty much straight away. Maybe it's because as we got to know the locals we found some personalities to mirror Maurice, Holling, Ed, Shelly and Maggie! Do you ever feel like you're living in a TV series?
