Wheee - on the road again, for a mini-Pros weekend, with lovely Pros-y friend, and lovely Pros-y friends! I met [livejournal.com profile] magenta_blue at the station, and we headed off to the Warehouse of Dust and Dreams - finding more dust than dreams this time, but hey-ho. Coffee and cake, and then we were properly off...

Now, guess which country. *g*

...with such glorious fields of flowers?


And such pretty houses beside the river...?

Norfolk! *g* Isn't it lovely? We had a little wander, and there was much chat about writing and Pros and life and the universe and everything, and there was pizza and chilling, and then the rest of the gorgeous evening looked alot like this...



We found a gorgeous little pub with fairy lights and comfy sofas for sitting on, and locals recommending wine at the bar, and eventually even Nirvana on the jukebox... *g* And chat. We found time and chilling for much more chat. Lovely. *sighs happily*

And yet again, I so want to move to Norwich! It has prettiest pub, and the comfy-est B&B, and every step you take in this city shows you that the people who live here like it, and appreciate it, and feel it. It's full of history, and little subtle-y plaqued stories about that history (we know why there's Pottergate, and Upper Goat Lane!), and it's also full of bookshops which were closed by the time we got there, but it's just good knowing they're there, you know?

Just... yeay. *g*

My one and only visit to Norwich was over 30 years ago, and then I spent all day being dragged around the shops by my m-i-l, so I saw absolutely nothing of the town *sigh* I do remember the market stalls with their stripey awnings though - are they still there?

I was trying to persuade the other 'alf to go down to Norfolk for his birthday, but I don't think it's going to work out...

Sounds like you had a lovely time - I wish I'd been there! And the photos are lovely. The left-hand one of the wine glasses looks like an advert... Oh, and do I get a bonus point for knowing that Happisburgh is pronounce Hazeboro...? *g*

(Shame that the other name on the sign is Ingham, and not Hingham though...)

Yes! The stripey-awninged market stalls are still there! Norwich is just gorgeous, I'm so in love with it... *sighs*

And you do get bonus points! And extra bonus points for noticing that we were just missing an H as well, cos I didn't, all night!

The left-hand one of the wine glasses looks like an advert...
Heeee - that's just what [livejournal.com profile] magenta_blue said! *vbg*
