A walk today following the river Wensum through this lovely city of Norwich. Starting from the Compleat Angler walk through their patio to steps taking you to the riverside walk. Anglers competing in a match on the bank opposite with huge fibre glass poles. Will the fish win?
The path then takes you to Pulls Ferry, once the gateway for building materials for Norwich Cathedral including its wonderful stone. Further on a view across the playing fields of Norwich School with the cathedral behind. A quintessentially English view! I love it. Then on past Cow Tower to the new footbridge arcing across the Wensum form St James Place where the new Broads Authority building stands which is now linked to the Adam and Eve car park. How thoughtful of the planners to provide a bridge so that Broads authority staff can easily pop over to the Adam & Eve pub for a pint.
Cross Whitefriars bridge to walk along Quay Side with street furniture looking like old shipping crates that help to give the atmosphere of how this part of the city used to be. Cross over one of the the oldest bridges, Fye Bridge by the Ribs of Beef to walk to the Art College and one of my favourite cafes in Norwich where I am always served with a smile and I can sit by the window, read a paper and watch the world go by. Bliss!
