Blogs from Norwich, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom, Europe

Not so many people have been to Norwich,but millions know that Norwich is in Anglia. They wouldn't have looked in an atlas or zoomed into the satellite photos on google earth to know it. Nor would they have had to have paid attention in schoolroom geography lessons. Gazillions know Norwich is in "Anglia" ....because the telly told them every Saturday. Just as we've got the jist about where New York sits because of The Apprentice and cop shows, so the same is true with the English jewel in the incredibly near east. Anglia is a local British television station. Their most renowned telly show of all time (the seventies) was intimately bound with Norwich and was introduced, "Live.

If anyone had questions, please get in touch. ... read more

New York - here we come! xxx... read more

They changed the logo! Not sure how I feel about it. Granted, the old one was pretty simplistic, but from a distance this one looks like someone accidentally hit the slash key instead of the “A”. Oh well This is the square, where UEA students would gather in droves if the sun so much as hinted at peeking through the clouds a tiny bit. The railing and benches at the very top are new, but other than that not much has changed. This is the only photo I have of the main part of campus. For all its wonderful qualities, UEA was designed and built in the 1960’s, when architecture was not at its peak.
