I heard that the other day, and agree it was really interesting. I had stupidly never realised that Trowse was built by Colmans to house their workers. It inspired me to have a look at the old school in Trowse, vacated in 2020. I cycle past it regularly but had never taken a look before today…
A view across a school playground, with Victorian era looking buildings in the background. There is a climbing frame to one side, and there are large weeds and bushes growing around and through the surface of the playground.

Off the top of my head…
A young man stands in the middle of an otherwise deserted mid-western US town. A small figure in a wide small-town landscape. The sun is shining.

You’ll always be WHSmith to me (just like Opal Fruits, Marathon, Jif, Twitter and Norwich Union).

We went to see Book of Mormon today, at the Norwich Theatre Royal, I know we’re several years late with this, but what a great show, laughter from start to finish!

Lovely, he looks like a cheeky lad!
We lost our Bramble a couple of months ago, missing her and her little ways madly. We knew it was coming, she was fourteen, but very hard nonetheless.

An older relative just keeps sharing ridiculous ai crap posts like this on Facebook.Without being too alarmist, and putting her off using the internet completely, we really need to have a gentle word with her about the possible harm of liking, following, sharing and boosting pages like this.
A screenshot of a Facebook page called Music Magic, which shows ai generated photos of prince George together with Tom Jones supposedly singing together at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. Even if it happened, which it didn’t, the boy and his mother are wearing different clothing in each of the various photos of them .

Good morning Des. Nice juxtaposition on my feed…
A screenshot of a BlueSky feed showing two coincidentally adjacent posts which both feature pictures of the inside of old windows, each with light filtering through foliage growing up outside.

As well as the ‘hels algels’ there’s still some dodgy stuff going on with legs and bags etc in the background, for example here at 20”…

I certainly wouldn’t describe myself as a fan, but I’d want more than £121 to merely be in the same room as him!

I took this photo 50 minutes ago! Hall Road bridge, Lakenham Way, Norwich.
A Victorian brick bridge in the sunshine, photographed from below, with shadows of trees on the brickwork, and the bare branches of a tree peeping over the top of it.

This poster in my dentist’s reception just makes me wonder if they’re David Bowie fans …
A poster advertising private dental services showing a patient with their head tipped back receiving treatment, reminiscent (in my mind!) of David Bowie’s Hunky Dory album cover.
