  1. ‘I feel motherly towards them’: the nature reserve manager sharing her office with a wasp nest
    By Safeerah Ahmed

    Eilish Rothney’s first instinct was to get rid of the wasps entering her converted shipping container in Norfolk. Now she enjoys their constant hum

  3. Blickling Hall, #Norfolk, is famously haunted by Anne Boleyn and her father (it was the family seat). A creepy story dates from 1909 when a small boy pointed and said: 'Look at white lady! White lady by door, bad face.' Then: 'Lady gone but not on her feet...' The adults saw nothing.

  4. Decided to be wildly optimistic and purchase solar eclipse glasses tonight for whole family online in the hope that:

    A) they arrive by Wednesday

    B) the weather is not cloudy on Wednesday evening

    C) we can find a west facing hill that we can get to by 6pm that won’t also have half of Norfolk there

  6. I can well believe that the playing fields of #Norfolk and #Suffolk are too rock hard to play football on right now.

    They are parched and dusty with many threadbare in terms of grass. Falling on them would be like landing on concrete.

    Again this is where sport, #ClimateChange and class intersect…

    Golf courses and private school pitches are still lush green.

    Meant to make time earlier but other things, like a #birthday, got in the way. Took a #trip with some folk I know #aboard #Norada. I was even allowed to take the #helm while a reef was being taken out as we approached #Wroxham.

    My mate is one of the #volunteer #skipper s and spends a lot of time on any of their various #craft.

    Unless you know about #Norfolk 's 19th #inland #sailing #barges, some of which were converted into #holiday craft late in their life you won't get a good impression of the scale of the craft, as all my pictures were taken while aboard.

  10. Scratch of the day: local football season postponed due to ‘rock hard’ pitches

    But now we need to pack and get home.

  16. Right wing scum, storming people’s homes last night, crowds also attempted to storm homes linked to alleged asylum seekers on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. This is the inevitable result of arseholes like Farage and friend’s hateful rhetoric

  18. Those who follow me will know that I say #Norwich and wider #Norfolk are like night and day when it comes to political persuasions.

    They will also know that I am no fan of the local rag, the Eastern Daily Press as it routinely sides with #Tories and #Reform.

    Yet this is what its editor had to say tonight about the thuggery taking place in #Thetford that has threatened the life of one its journalists.

  20. #Police officers were injured in #Thetford #Norfolk #England during a #raceriot where they were trying to prevent right wing activists damaging houses where it was claimed #immigrants are living

    (this is not even first time its happened in this region, it also happened 20 years ago and those were *legal* migrants from EU using their freedom of movement!)

  22. Highlight of a fascinating swim up 900m of the River Little Ouse through @[email protected] new reserve, Prince Freddy's Meadow, Blo' Norton on the #Norfolk #Suffolk border was couple of pools of Common Dace (Leuciscus leuciscus). youtu.be/iMRVaIug0Kc?... #MySwim #rivers #fish #ukwildlife 1/19

  24. Took the kids to Beeston Bump yesterday for an evening stroll. It was magical being on #Norfolk’s highest point in the golden light.

  26. Four from RSPB #Snettisham yesterday. Two inland species from near the car park, Caper Spurge (another new one for me) and the mandatory Fleabane. And two for the #ByTheSea challenge - Vipers Bugloss and Sea Mayweed. #WildflowerHour #Norfolk #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
