Norwich Castle
|
|
Seeing Dan's fantastic sunset shot of Norwich Castle -
(http://shw.fotopages.com/4122018.html)
- reminded me of some picuures that I took a while back. As you will see it really looks like the real thing - with battlements a well and dungeons. It was built by the Normans as a Royal Palace 900 years ago and was used as a prison from the 14th century until 1894 when it became a museum. It's a great place to visit - I've been going since I was a child and now take our kids who just like me can spend hours dropping pennies down the well or staring at the poor old shrivelled mummy (makes a change from me!!)

|

I had no idea this was going on in the back of my fridge! And how guilty I felt - all those wasted air miles for strawberries in winter!

Grey day
|
|
|
This morning the sun was shining and the birds were singing and it really seemed like spring. By the time I was able to get out with the camera things had got grey again. All of these shots were taken on a very short walk from our house. Once again I found myself taking pictures of puddles.....

Photo Challenge 57 - Magic
|
|
This strange magic ring appeared in the sky over our house last year - it looks just like a halo which is quite appropriate as our house used to be a Methodist chapel!

Castle Acre Priory
|
|
This is one of our favourite historic places to visit....
"Castle Acre Priory was inspired by the monastery at Cluny in France and was home to a community of monks until 1537, when Henry VIII disbanded all monastic houses. The village stands on the Pilgrim routes to Thetford, Bromholm Priory and Walsingham. The priory's ruins span seven centuries and include a beautiful 12th-century church with an elaborately decorated west front, still rising to its full height, a 15th-century gatehouse and a porch and prior's lodging still fit to live in." (From the English Heritage website)

Something pink and fluffy
|
|
Today is meant to be the most depressing day of the year according to the media...we're all cold, the weather's miserable, the credit card bills from Christmas have come in and we've all failed in keeping our New Year's resolutions. Perhaps its because I'm a suggestible person but I couldn't help feeling a bit glum....
Here's soemthing pink and fluffy to cheer anyone up who may be feeling the same!

After the rain

More garden shots from the summer...
What a week it's been. Hubby has been laid up with the flu for most of the week so I've been left holding the fort - looking after the kids, running house and working as well. Woke up this morning feeling a bit under the weather too as did my son. Nevertheless we set off for the Saturday morning dancing and swimming classes - me feeling guilty I that I'd shouted at the kids as we were running late. The viewing room and changing rooms at the pool were unbelievably hot which left my son and I feeling even worse so he decided to skip his lesson. We're now all tucked up for the weekend. The kids are watching 'Fiddler of the Roof' on the telly while mum "chats to her fotopage mates" . Didn't feel inspired enough to take any new pics but these, from last summer, brightened me up a bit!

A bit of jousting...
|
|
|
These photos were taken at the end of last summer at Old Buckenham Country Fayre. Old Buckenham is a typical English Village with a large village green and two great pubs. The fayre takes place every year and has loads of entertainment including a fun fair, craft stall, local bands, hot air balloon, morris dancing, falconry and a jousting display - a breathtaking show performed by The Company of Horseman.
