Dullest skyline ever?

I do really like Norwich, but it's always a struggle to find somewhere nice for a sunset shot - you know that moment you're out and about, see that in about 10 minutes it's going to look good, and quickly scurry to a decent vantage point. In Norwich that just doesn't work. Is it because Norfolk is so flat, so when the sun goes down it's actually really well and truly gone and the colours are so far away? Or is it the lack of skyline features? Not that the absence of skyscrapers is bad, but would that add anything? Or am I just craving mountains again?

Today I started my morning with a behind the scenes tour of the Norfolk Heritage Centre, going through the stacks and things. It was amazing. We got to look at original editions of some key historical texts, including a Wycliffe Bible from the 14th century. Not just look at, but touch and turn the pages of. Incredible! Lydia and I had a great time trying to work out the order of the books in it - Ruth seemed to run backwards, and there were a few others that we couldn't work out, although it wasn't helped by the pidgin-Latin the book names were in.

That was organised by our paleography teacher, and afterwards we all (four of us) went to have lunch in a nearby cafe. Lydia and I then went to a local second hand/new bookshop and had a great time fossicking through boxes of maps and old travel guides. I did some of my Christmas shopping and was about to head home when I saw the sun was about to set, and that's when the skyline predicament set in.

I got home and had a deliciously wonderful box of a few cake and biscuit samples from toobe's table. We did a Christmas baking trade, delicious. A peppermint pattie definitely helped me get some assignment done ;)

Adios and good night now!
