I've just spent a pleasant morning taking a group on a walk in our lovely city. We started at the Norwich Anglian Cathedral following the river passed Pulls Ferry and Cow Tower, along Quayside and through to St George's Street and ending up at St Johns Roman Catholic Cathedral for coffee. Taking in a little history along the way. Mostenjo

Sorry the end got cut off. It should have said. Most enjoyable and the picture is of the beautiful wisteria at St Giles Church taken last year

We are fortunate to live in a very beautiful city that has many ancient sites but my favourite part of Norwich is the riverside walks.

Norwich is very special. Basically it is a large old market town with a rich cultural side to match. The wide variety of architecture with more or less a bit of everything adds to the flavour. Mousehold Heath lies within walking distance of the city centre. Hidden gems such as the Plantation Garden and Ketts Heights apart from all the public parks show a lot more to the place than just buildings. We are in easy reach of a large length of coastline, let alone two thousand square miles of rural area containing a whole plethora of interesting and unique places. That's why so many, like me, have come here from elsewhere and haven't the slightest intention of going anywhere else.

I enjoy walking alongside the river too. Living in Thorpe Hamlet means I have several routes into the city centre. It's a lovely city to walk around- so many stunning buildings as well as the parks. An intimate city too. My mum always enjoys her visits here so she's pleased I moved here too.

I've just noticed the last word of my last post had got cut off. The word was county This has happened a few times. I think it's the auto correct but it doesn't always select the right word

I like the riverside walks too, doesn't matter if its sunny or raining its always nice, the rain on the river makes nice patterns.
