I found a picture from my 60th Birthday Cruise:

Re: Today's County in the spotlight
One lunchtime during the Birthday Cruise was spent at this delightful pub:
while there we were lucky enough to see the boat which moves around the Broads all the time but I have not seen it that often:
which just leaves the question: Where were we?

Re: Today's County in the spotlight
On a different trip to Norfolk a few years ago we took in some sights which my Broads holidays had not covered:
A spectacular cathedral well worth a visit when you find yourself in the county town!!

Re: Today's County in the spotlight
Not having found a pic in a brief paddle, it looks like a model, so the most likely place would be Merrivale Model Village in Great Yarmouth at a guess.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑06 Apr 2022, 13:24 Here is a superb building in Norfolk:

Re: Today's County in the spotlight
This is Norfolk, although I didn't do the simple thing of writing a description on the back of the photograph.
So this is P1040901 taken at 20.42 on 13th June 2017 somewhere within evening short driving distance of Wells-next-the-Sea. Shingle beach too.....Wells-next-the-sea beach is a long long stretch of sand. Looks like it was on the coast up from Cley-next-the-Sea.

Re: Today's County in the spotlight
For entertainment of a more natural nature, Norwich Cathedral is still the place. You may have to turn the volume down for the first bit, or find a quieter vid.

Re: Today's County in the spotlight
Last orders for Norfolk, the sun is setting on its Day-ish in the Spotlight.
Norfolk is home to one of the leading Auction Houses in the Country for Classic Car Sales. Back in 2017 at the end of our Norfolk Holiday combined it with a visit to ACA at Kings Lynn, hoping to be successful at somewhere around the asking price for this Renault Caravelle. Went too high and it wasn't to be.

best to keep the thread flowing!
So if anyone would like to run the random number generator to select the next county please do. If it hits a number already used run it again. Our numbers selected so far have been
3,5,22,24,28,51,59,61,65,66,69,70,78,81,84,86,89.
Random Number Selection is 8
New County is Banffshire
Wear the fox hat!
