    Seals scattered on Blakeney sandbanks;
    A wherry carving majestically through reedbanked rivers,
    Silent contemplation in Cathedral cloisters;
    Giant rhodedendrons sweeping colour across Sheringham park.

    A pint of Wherry in a broadland beer garden
    The scents and colours of Norwich market place
    But most of all...
    The roar of the crowd.

    Great link Dave,

    Being from outside Norfolk I have experienced how "aloof" people from Norfolk can be. At first I didn't like it and wanted to move back to Essex.

    Then slowly as people realised I was here for the long haul and I employed more people from Norfolk I was accepted. Not just on a toleration basis but truly involved and invited.

    I am now starting to turn like this myself and I not even from Norfolk!

    A pint of Wherry on the riverside balcony at the ribs of beef on a warm summer day.

    Hi Dave bor, Tykes say Yorkshire is God's own country. Norfolk is Heaven on Earth !
    Fenman bor, Holme Beach. Have you ever seen that old rusty tank among the dunes ?
