Norwich by train - NOT amateur radio
We travel to Norwich from Ely several times a year by train. It takes under an hour and Norwich is a fine city. A day return with a Senior Railcard is not expensive.
The journey is relaxed and the scenery pleasant. Being East Anglia (which is a fairly flat part of the UK) hills are rare! Travelling there and back, you see fens, brecks, forest and arable land as well as a glimpse of Wymondham Abbey with its 2 towers.
The photo shows a pig farm! I know you couldn't wait! 😀

Norwich Cathedral West Window |
We went to the market, up Tombland Alley, down Elm Hill, in the cathedral and a nice walk beside the River Wensum where Caen stone was brought up years ago from France to build the cathedral.

Norwich tapas - NOT amateur radio
Tapas, as far as I know, is a Spanish invention. Instead of a large meal, you are served several small dishes of your choosing, all of which you can share. We had a lovely tapas lunch in Norwich yesterday and the price was extremely reasonable. I was just about to pay a tip when I was told the bill included the tip!

Norwich - NOT amateur radio
The photo shows Pull's Ferry where stone from France used to build the cathedral came in. They built a special canal up to the cathedral (now not there) to move the stones to the cathedral from the River Wensom.

Norwich Cathedral - NOT amateur radio
Norwich Cathedral is one of the finest in England. It is Norman (nearly 1000 years old) and many of the stones used to build it came all the way from Normandy in France by boat. The photo shows one of the fine windows.

Norwich cathedral bosses NOT amateur radio
To think this was built all that time ago without cranes and mechanical aids we have today.
Also, where did they get the manpower? There are over 1000 medieval churches in Norfolk alone
