  1. Just putting it out there ... not everyone wants other people's dogs around them when they go out ... I know dog owners love their own and other people's dogs but not everyone does. :default_hiding:

  2. We went for a lovely walk at Womack Water yesterday and saw several hire boats out and about. I guess it's those favourite spots that are always occupied even when it's quiet.

    Also drove through Catfield yesterday. Is the Crown worth a visit?

  3. Wow! What a trip! The strange thing for me was reading about your time in Sydney and looking at your photos knowing exactly where you were even though it's halfway around the world. And recognising so many other place names too, that we either visited, saw on train routes, or have heard about from our son.

    Signage there suggests that they’re emergency works, but it does seem odd that these repairs are necessary already.

    They are having to do these emergency flood relief works on the eastbound side as per my post above.

  5. I went into Norwich yesterday. It was delightful. A walk by the river and up past the cathedral. Browsed a couple of clothes shops as I prefer to try things on before I buy them if I can. Then I loved looking round Castle Fine Art. Beautiful pieces that took my breath away by one artist in particular. You just can’t get that feeling online. Now I need £800 and a suitable space. 🤔 Then something from the bakery while I waited for the bus home … you can’t get that online either. :default_rofl:

  6. I've been reading about this on local news media. It has been a very serious situation with the A14 being flooded by water from the adjoining land. We were fortunate that the road had two lanes open when we came back up there from London on Thursday last week. They had pumped away 10 million litres of water over the previous week.

  7. The road and the car park down at NBD in Wroxham seem to be clear for the first time in months .... apart from the few weeks I don't know about because I wasn't here. :default_rofl:

  8. We did see someone appearing to be helping themselves to logs around Mousehold Heath on the outskirts of Norwich when we drove past at the weekend. It does happen. 

  9. Fabulous! We also thought how clean the city was. So many views of the harbour bridge from different places but we never got tired of it. I was glad we got the chance to walk across it … note, not over it. No way would I have done that. 😂

    Definitely lots of traffic lights with junctions and road layout that reminded us more of America than England. Pedestrians seemed to generally respect the lights as well and wait to cross on their turn.
