Norwich

When my sister was in town, we took a three day tour of Norfolk, which started in Norwich. While larger than Cambridge, Norwich's shops and markets follow the same hours—everything closes around 5:30pm. So after visiting the Norwich Cathedral, buying shoes, eating lunch, taking Carolyn through Habitat and walking the ancient cobblestone streets, stores were locking their doors and we were ready to head off to our charming B&B in Thorpe St. Andrew, The Old Rectory.

Carolyn takes advantage of the space left by the destruction of statues during English Civil War.

A door knocker just begs to be knocked—even on a church

and a keyhole just begs to be peeped through.
