many thanks for your email regarding putting and horse and carriage rides Cromer.
The site is not designed to be ‘commercial’ but I can of course weave your two activities into a story on Cromer.
Only one on site at present is ‘elephants and echinoids’.
I will try to add you in here or wait and include in a new story as it unfolds……
thanks for taking the time to email Our Norfolk, apologies for late reply
been consumed by my other role – gardening!
Hi there – loving your blog ….. you might like to include our shop on a ‘shopping’ page should you start one – we are http://www.purpledoordiss.co.uk – and a little bit different and we feel we may suit your lovely style We also have a facebook page too. We sell quirky vintage and handcrafted items – and although have only been open a year now have quite a following.
We are based in Diss – please do call in and see us if you are ever in our area….
Best of luck with the blog
Sarah
Hello Sarah
thank you for your email
sorry for late reply but been consumed with other ‘hat’ – gardening duties.
Found your facebook site, very nice and quirky as you say.
Our Norfolk isn’t ‘commercial’ but shops can find their way onto the site within a story.
Will keep your comment here and weave you in if Diss appears or some other story content to which I can include you.

Hi –
I’m sure you will be inundated with pictures from the Household Cavalry on the beach at Holkham, but just to make sure I am not left out, here is a link to some of my favourite photographs from my time with them on Thursday (5th July).

Many thanks

Hi Sarah
I wondered if Bruin may like to visit our Fun Day on 26th August at the Playpark on the Cromer Road in Sheringham? We are raising funds to revamp the playpark which is in dire need of attention, this will be our first official fund raising event. There will be lots to do….bouncy castles, donkey rides, penalty shootout, a book sale, BBQ, cakes and refreshments, crafts and lots more….
You can read more about our Fun Day and the project on our Facebook page:

We’d love to see you there!
Emma
Sheringham Playpark Revamp
Hello Emma
we’d love to visit the Fun Day but not sure yet if we may be required in Hampshire at parents.
We saw you in the EDP last week and we’ll put out your day on our site by way of Twitter/Facebook.
We will let you know ahead of Saturday, Bruin is quite partial to bouncy castles and donkey rides!!
Lots of great photo opportunities!
Sarah
Hello there. A couple of weeks ago my friend Maggie visited Lizzie’s exhibition at Blickling, and was both impressed and inspired by it. She wanted to purchase a calendar but – oh no ! – didn’t have any money with her. Are they still available? If they are, please put one aside and I will collect it from Blickling for her. Yours in hope,
MB
Hello MB
The apple has just been won! (the treasure hunt they ran in conjunction with the Lizzie Riches exhibition)
Can you tell me what the calendar was about and I’ll do some sleuthing – was it a NT production or something to do with the exhibition which was run by the Red Dot Gallery Holt?
Sarah
These strange shaped, rounded mammals that lay on the end of Blakeney Point have to be one of the most popular animals on the coast! I am talking obviously about the Seals!!
Thousands of people come each year to have a look, take a photo or 50, and generally be amused by these quite lovable creatures!!
The season now extends throughout the year!, yes even in winter the brave passengers come wrapped up warm ready for the boat trip that is by far the best way to see them! We will generally always see some the question is how many! The Grey & Common seals live together but don’t actually interbreed so we have common seal pups in the summer and Grey’s in the winter. Its really great to see the passengers faces when they see the seals for the first time as we round the corner of the Point. It’s a great job, every day is different as you never know what you may see!
More info is on the website please have a look and hopefully will see you soon

Hi, I am visiting family over Christmas with my two young
Children and looking for something Christmassy to do on
Christmas Eve, whilst getting some good Norfolk
fresh air! Could u recommend anything?
Many Thanks
Anita
Hello Anita – whereabouts are you based in Norfolk? Have you ever taken a boat out to see the seals? Fresh air indeed! 1.30 on 24th (they sail with the high tide). Take a pocketfull of sweets and ask the boatmen anything about seals, birds, The Point, Bruin’s reported on it in Family Fun. Let me know where you’ll be based and I’ll report back again….. Sarah
Hi Sarah,
We have done the seal trip which was amazing but have a fidgety four year old…! Are there any particular Christmassy walks you could recommend (followed by a toasty hot Choc stop! )
Thank you
Anita
There’s lots, whereabouts are you based? Sarah
Toasty hot chocolate is easy – make it Byfords. A bowlfull of hot choc with/without whipped cream on top & a Byfords mince pie, in their V festively decorated cosy cafe, followed by a walk around Holt looking at the twinkly white fairy lights/big Christmas trees. As for a walk, try Spout Hills (see its story online under NATURE) you can have a Xmas Pooh Sticks competition, or Pensthorpe (again, see story online) with its daily 4pm lit feed (I think Santa lends a hand). Or try to spot deer in Holkham Park (a bit like reindeer!) there’s a nature walk around their lake to do as well.
In Bale so those are all good ideas, just fingers crossed now for some crisp but dry weather
thank you!
Hi Sarah
Love the website !
I have met you in Larners car park before . We have a Morris same as yours called Gutsy
To see her in all her glory have a little look at our website http://www.whitehousefarmholt.co.uk
Best wishes Mary
Hello Mary and GUT
yes, I remember you as you are also Trafalgar Blue like Nelson! Glad you like the site, you’re welcome to submit or suggest content to add to it – it is Our Norfolk!
hello there – I stumbled on your website and wondered if you’d be interested in my exhibition in Salthouse in May – it’s called ‘engrained voices’ and is a collaboration with Hugh Lupton (storyteller). The shows all about Norfolk Folk Tales and is a series of carved inscriptions………….www.engrainedvoices.com will tell you more. ALL THE BEST
Hello Teucer! Your website looked so familliar – it’s because I’ve photographed the sign at Salthouse presumably taken from Domesday records and presumably carved by you?!? There’s so much to take in – I think suffice to say that under The Arts at Our Norfolk, I’d love a 400 word story submission (+ 3 or 4 images of course please) about your craft & Hugh’s work, keeping to a Norfolk theme of course in whatever subject matter you choose to highlight. I can then add links to your exhibition site, both of your individual websites and Hugh’s new book. Perhaps you’d like to give me a call to discuss? Have you discovered our weekly e-postcard featuring the top 5 things to do for the week ahead? An text image of yours would make a great e-postcard image of the week and when the story’s on the site, you would then be at No. 1 under your image and if the reader clicks on this, they get sent to your story online. Thanks for finding Our Norfolk – The Arts category is a particularly well-read one.
hello, love your blog, just trying to spread the word in Norfolk about our Midsummer Night’s Ball & Garden party at Houghton Hall on 22nd June http://www.wyndstock.org – any help much appreciated
Thank you Victor, please do send any press releases through as we can share them across Facebook/Twitter. Any posh car boot sale this year? Went a couple or three years ago and it was brilliant, regretted not purchasing two Middle Eastern occasional tables!
