Still in the grip of the big freeze!
I’ve been into Norwich three times this week, on the bus. Hopefully the Christmas shopping is now finished – until I suddenly remember someone/something I hadn’t thought of.
Today I met up with a friend and we visited the Faith Exhibition at the Castle Museum. Norwich Castle has been standing as long as the Cathedral – over 900 years – and this was an exhibition of the different faiths through the ages. We’re quite multi-cultural, and it seems we always have been, with many faiths represented. It was really interesting to see some of the art work and artefacts of different religions from ancient times until the present day.
Then we had lunch in the restaurant, and I cam home on the bus while my friend stayed in Norwich for some Christmas shopping.
I don’t think we’ve been hit as badly as the rest of the country (or the rest of Norfolk, come to that) but snow is still lying around everywhere, many of the road surfaces and most of the pavements are treacherous, and it’s still bitterly cold.
Roll on Christmas – we’re bound to have a thaw and it will be muggy and mild instead of crisp and white!
