A few from today (you may notice a lack of any from the Christmas Stalls /
Victorian market in the Cathedral......and that's because it was woeful..........


Here's a few from the day - nothing special - was all about meeting up with the locals, and the internationals from Suffolk, Essex and Surrey, to partake in a festive ale.

"Charlie Chaplin chats to the constabulary" (Is it me or are coppers getting younger?)

That "fine capture" produced this (almost)

I am 100% convinced those amateur Norman builders of 900 odd yrs ago did not possess set squares or plumb bobs. That roof is most definitely "on the huh" and not symmetrical. :razz::razz::razz:

That is absolutely NO WAY to speak of Don Tigerdriver..... :rules:

:LOL::LOL:
 
I may not have been referring to the photographer ... I may have been referring to the Pentax user ... :D:D:D
 
i have a sort of apology (but unacceptable) from the people I entrusted to lay on the Victorian market... however, it has not washed and I am giving them a particularly hard time about it......

As in, "I am struggling to find the tenuous link between a traditional Spanish Churros stall and Victiorian Christmas in Englandshire." - Please elaborate.

"Here is a photograph of Upper Green, The Close on Saturday 10th Dec. I am failing to spot the xmas market (The pic I put on facebook) . If I should put a random cross on it, is it similar to "spot the ball?" Please could you highlight it in any way you feel appropriate?

I have read "A Christmas Carol" yet nowhere within do I find Mr Scrooge or any other character referring to "Ye olde bouncinge slyde" (or similar).. Please explain the Victorian connection.


I did also mention we had some international photographers (well they went over a river and crossed a border) ) attending this great Christian event, at what is surely one of East Anglia's most Christian places......

and the disappointment and embarrassment.......

I shouldn't worry too much about the "winter extravaganza" Lynton: If people query it just claim it is "Normal for Norfolk!" :wacky:

but i did see a reindeer mooning for the camera :LOL:
 
Well having looked through I could vote it no less than a five ... :D

The man in this photo, talking to Charlie, calls himself "The Doctor" and must be avoided at all costs! Unless you want to be spoken to for hours on end about absolutely nothing at all!
