East Anglian skies - NOT amateur radio


This part of England (East Anglia) is famous for being flat. As a compensation, we get some amazing skies. This was when we had a storm recently.

East Anglian skies - NOT amateur radio

We get some great skies in East Anglia, but it is flatter than many parts of the UK. We still have hills, but they tend not to be as high as in some parts. This photo was meant to be of a windmill and 2 churches in Swaffham Prior across a cornfield, but they were hardly noticeable dots, so I concentrated on the sky instead!

We have few hills in the part of UK, but we get some great skies as this photo taken by my son on his phone shows.

East Anglia - NOT amateur radio

Much of East Anglia, UK, is flat. There are some small hills, but some may call these small bumps! This photo was taken out of a train window yesterday. Despite the flattish landscapes Norfolk and Suffolk have some great rolling scenery and some very old villages and very old medieval churches.

Flatlands - NOT amateur radio

Here in East Anglia, UK we have few real hills, but some great skies. At the moment we have rapeseed plants in flower which are bright yellow. I like this photo which contrasts the chalk with the rapeseed.

East Anglia - NOT amateur radio

We have well over 1000 medieval churches in our part of the world. Some are real gems. With aging and falling congregations it is far from clear how these will be maintained in future years. At the moment most are looked after and many are open.

Whatever you are a Christian believer (or not), these are well worth a visit. We are lucky as most are less than 90 minutes drive away. We try to visit many of these and those we do I record in another blog. See http://eachurches.blogspot.co.uk/ .

East Anglian Churches blog updated - NOT amateur radio

Last week we called at delightful Aylsham in north Norfolk on our way to Blickling (National Trust). We visited the church there and I have updated our East Anglian Churches blog.

Sorry, this is not amateur radio.

Today my wife and I visited her old ancestral home at Wymondham in Norfolk. Some of her family lived here in the 1800s.

We visited the fine abbey there which was founded in 1107AD. We record our visits on a blog, which we updated.

The photo is of the market square in the middle of the town.
