Well, it's been raining almost non-stop for 24hours. Boy did we need it but it feels a bit gloomy and cool....so here's looking back to last Saturday.
I usually quickly pop into the city centre to pick up our shopping on a Saturday morning (using local independent Shops and market stalls) but as the weather was fine, it was a nice day to take Jan in too, using the wheelchair. With her thyroid problem she can walk short distances but couldn't manage a big walk.
Norwich has an ace Dragon sculpture trail all over the city this summer (over 80 dragons!) in aid of the Break children's charity. They've all been painted by different aritists with different themes. So over the last few weeks when we've been out and about we've been trying to 'get' as many of the dragons as possible!
Our copy of the leaflet is well-thumbed
Each dragon has a letter that goes into a phrase (get all the letters to enter a competition)
So, Last Saturday we headed down to the Norwich riverside walk to get the dragons there (I'd actually seen some of them already but Jan hadn't)
Crossing the River Wensum that meanders through the city
Norwich Cathedral (Peregrines have recently fledged from here)
We both particularly like the naturey-themed dragons. This one's on Bishops Bridge (a medieval bridge...we gotta lot of history in Norfolk!
It's painted with lots of our typical Norfolk birdie species
Just along the riverside walk is Cow Tower, part of our medieval city wall
Further on the riverside walk, you can hire canoes now. Might have to give that a go sometime
Our newest footbridge, the Jarrold Bridge
GoGoMosaic dragon at Tombland near the Cathedral....sparkly!
..in the Cathedral Close
Beautifully painted long-tailed tits
Quayside, I love this row of houses.
So there's a taste of our dragon trail and lovely riverside walk! Photos were by Jan on her phone, I have a million more but they're trapped on my camera.
....it's still raining, that's over 24 hours now!
