Nicky Came To Norwich

 Three things I greatly enjoy

  1. Sharing the things I love about Norwich with a visitor
  2. Going to some sort of art exhibition, and a companion to enjoy it with me
  3. Meeting a blogfriend in person and feeling as if you've known them for ever
I managed all three things yesterday. Nicky has been a follower of Tracing Rainbows for a decade or more, and we've become real blogfriends through 'off-blog' correspondence via email and WhatsApp. She and I have watched our children grow up, and we've both moved house [she went south and I went east] but we never met 'in the flesh' till now.
Then she said she was coming to Norwich with her husband for a mini break. So we met up [in the splendid Cathedral Coffee Shop] Full details of our lovely afternoon will come later - but here we are outside the Cathedral [this is the selfie Nicky took, much better than my attempts]

  6. I know feel famous! It was such fun to meet up, and you are such a good tour guide. What you don’t know about Norwich is not worth knowing. Nicky K

  11. I've just watched a you tube documentary on Norwich, apparently it's the best medieval city in the UK, over 57 churches , abbeys and the cathedral of course, just so stunning.

    1. It's a fabulous city - it used to be said that there was a parish church for every Sunday of the year and a pub for every other day of the year!
