ixion thank you for letting us all know about Kaimoana. I do hope it's nothing horrendously serious and she'll soon be back with us. And thank you for passing on our best wishes and that we're all rooting for her.
It seems strange to me that people think Norfolk (Nfk) is a lovely place to live. I've not lived anywhere else except Norwich and the Broads, but there are so many lovely places in Britain which, to me, make Norfolk look boring. But certainly there are many places here which would suit your description NotSpag. Although it's best to avoid the posh bit of the north of Norfolk unless you can afford a helipad!
It also seems strange to hear you reminiscing about Norwich Art School Grammaretto. It's huge now and apparently one of the best in the country. I lived (with DH!) in a flat at the top of Grapes Hill when we were first married and push started our old car down the old hill many times. We also watched those terrace houses being demolished, and the new big roundabout and dual carriageway being built. Must have been around 1970. I worked in St Giles Street. My grandmothers both went to the Quaker Meeting House in Goat Lane. It was very much my part of Norwich. We could have passed in the street many times!
I'm just recovering from our town's open gardens weekend. Including mine. It seemed like a good idea to volunteer it so as to get me off my backside and actually doing some weeding. It all went really rather well, despite the heat, with over 400 visitors over the two days. I thought all was lost on Friday when the temperature really went up, as one side of the garden was in full sun and everything wilted badly. The outside thermometer nearby read 43 degrees!! Incredibly though, with lots of watering, despite the warm night they all recovered!
Met up with DS and DGS at Mundesley this evening for a dip in the sea. Including Kira who swims very well, but kept trying to rescue me. It was bliss nontheless.
Now off to bed!
