RedBall leaves Norwich

Kurt Perschke's RedBall left Norwich on a high note with an appearance in the Erpingham Gate at Norwich Cathedral on 22 May. Gone but not forgotten. It was only a red ball, really. Or was there somehing more? Amateur photographers had a field day - so watch this space for more. Rumour has it there's to be an exhibition based on red ball photographs in October. Remember, you heard it here first....

Rosary Cemetery

We visited Rosary Cemetery in Norwich last Sunday. The first non-denominational cemetery in England, it was opened in 1821 and occupies a steep and thickly wooded site looking south toward the city centre. It's one of Norwich's undiscovered gems and laid out in a formal arrangement on the site of a former market garden. There are many symbols and monuments and many fine specimen trees along with a wide range of birds and butterflies. There's much interest to be had in wandering through the avenues seeking out unfrequented corners and their stones and monuments. We're going to join as Friends and come along to more of the guided talks they hold from time to time - and maybe even volunteer for some conservation work.
