I’ve been going out a lot lately. Blame it on the sunny spells, and warm temperature outside. It was great to get a lot of fresh air while walking around the city. But, you know what I love the most about walking around Norwich is?
The city itself.
Norwich is not a metropolitan city, but it is a city indeed — and a well balanced one. It is busy and bustling in the centre — the open market, the forum, the malls. It is green and relaxing too — the riverside walk, county forest, the park. It is academic — two big universities — UEA and NUA. And it is historical too — the castle, stranger’s hall, the two cathedrals.
One corner you are a part of the busy shopping centre, and next time you know it, you are in Elm Hill’s cobblestone’s little alley enjoying a quiet walk. Or, one minute you and your friends were having a nice cuppa in a hip café in St. Benedicts, and on your way home you found this little hidden gem of the city.
People say that Norwich is small. But as my husband put it, it is a wonderland. You don’t realise it, but once you’re there, you don’t think you want to leave. You don’t know if you can find anywhere as fine, as Norwich — the fine city 😀
Sounds like a review of some sort isn’t it? It is not. I was out and suddenly reminded of why and how I ended up here after studying in UEA 4 years ago. 4 years! Time does fly, doesn’t it?

Someday I will visit England…
Do you enjoy the weather? That is the one thing for me, I am not a fan of cloudy days.I love sunshine, even if it is during cold weather. And we get plenty of cold weather up here in USA Maine!

You should visit England, it is a beautiful place, especially if you love the countryside, and castles 😀 Unfortunately bright sunny warm weather is a bit of luxury here in Norwich, Laura. So when the sun is up, we don’t waste it — knowing than in one or two days it will be grey and cold again. Maybe it is quite similar to Maine.
