Had a lovely few nostalgic days in Norwich with Jenny and David.
First stop was Jenny and David's allotment to inspect the fruits of their labours.
Joy at Tombland.
Elm Hill.
Of course a visit to the Norwich Cathedral is a must. The cathedral was begun in Norman times, 1096 and completed in 1145. It was constructed out of flint and mortar and faced with a cream-coloured limestone shipped from Caen in France.
Lord Nelson is still there in the Close.
We think this is England's most magnificent Cathedral.
A closer view of the roof.
The altar.
The choir.
The cloisters.
One of the gates leading into the Close.
Jenny and David took us to The Plantation Garden, a Victorian garden, created between 1856 and 1897 by a successful Norwich businessman Henry Trevor. It fell into disrepair and was rediscovered in the 80's, completely overgrown, then saved and restored by a trust. It is unique and absolutely charming, we loved it.
The back wall was constructed of all sorts of things, including bits of antiquity.
Looking down at the beautiful garden.
