I enjoyed twenty two good years of living in Norwich, a fine city, but then moved on (must lean to pay the rent). I still go back from time to time to see family and friends. It is a very special part of the world.

Unfortunately nowadays Norwich and Norfolk, is getting full of ee hars and UFLs (Up from London), and most of the good places are disappearing, replaced by modernised, organic, bare wood shops selling a host of products that fishes need for bicycles. Also you will see loads of properties used by people to "pop to" for the occasional weekend, then, whilst there they can complain about anything agricultural or rural. Most of the local pubs have been forced to close replaced by gastro pubs, where you can eat fine cuisine and talk to people from Surrey

However, if you dig hard enough, I'm sure you should find some real Norfolk left, so explore and find the real Norfolk, then savour and enjoy it, it is a wonderful place to be
