Within These Walls, Chapelfields, Norwich City, England, April 2014

A historic city wall and an equally historic Easter fair...

Its an early Sunday morning in mid April and the City is just stirring into life.

A Continental Affair, Norwich, Easter 2014

Norwich with a Continental flavour...

There's hardly room to pass on Gentleman's Walk in the city today, Good Friday 2014. The place is thronging with folks taking a leisurely stroll along the line of stalls that are the makings of a Continental market. Quite some novelty here in the City where European and British cultures combine to provide a colourful and entertaining few days across the Easter holidays.
