Normal for Norfolk?

[steepholm]

My mother and I were listing places in the country where we'd never been, and so of course I mentioned Norfolk, which remains terra incognita for me. My mother on the other hand visited in 1939, when she went to see her newly-married sister and brother-in-law in King's Lynn. They visited nearby Sandringham while she was there, and she tells me that she was struck by the number of men in the village who looked exactly like Edward VII. You'd swear there was a family resemblance, apparently. This is the kind of thing that doesn't make it into conventional histories, so I set it down here for us all to ponder upon.

(Meanwhile, the blatant way in which the latest wodge of cronies has bribed its way into the House of Lords has been remarked on even by the BBC.)

My company's UK office is, of all places, in Norwich, making Norfolk the most likely county for me to visit (there was even once a chance I'd be sent over to do some training, but that hasn't surfaced for a while).

If you ever get there, do tell me what it's like!

It's nice! I work in Norwich and live in Ipswich, so I mostly experience Norfolk through a train/office window, but every now and again I'm allowed out.

I recommend the North Norfolk coast too - really beautiful.
