Third time at rainbows end but enjoyed it as much as the first time Weather was absolutely beautiful for the time of year which made it even more enjoyable Rainbows end is a lovely place where you can just relax and watch the world go by or if you prefer to be a bit more busy then you can always go on the train to norwich or great yarmouth which only takes about 30 mins to get there The hosts Hilda and Ivan are a lovely couple and nothing is too much trouble for them We enjoyed it so much that we have already booked again for next year.
