Info from the website:


This November, the Sainsbury Centre invites visitors to explore one of life's most enduring questions: How Do We Find Love? Exploring themes of love, intimacy and human connection, the new exhibitions delve into the complexities of our relationships.

Spanning painting, sculpture, photography and film, The Last Human Kiss explores how the kiss has shaped our understanding of love, devotion, betrayal and belonging, while Ecstasy and the Aftermath reflects on how deep connections are formed, broken, remembered and mourned, asking whether love ever truly ends. Together, the exhibitions offer a thought-provoking exploration of love in its many forms, inviting visitors to reflect on their own experiences of connection, relationships and loss. 


Norfolk Adult Education and Learning

New free Norfolk Adult Learning courses!

There are a few free courses with Adult Learning and Skills, in and around Norwich.  

A lot of the key skills courses are free and some of the longer accounting (AAT L3 Diploma), and childcare (Childcare L2 Certificate Intermediate) courses are free if you are in receipt of certain benefits, or if you don't have a Level 3 qualification.

Booking essential as they normally only have a few places, but often people cancel the tasters at last minute so it is worth popping there to see if you can take the place of a dropout.




Cathedral of St John the Baptist

The Cathedral of St John the Baptist 

The Cathedral of St John the Baptist is Norwich’s Catholic Cathedral, but its doors are open to all people from any and no faith. The Cathedral is open from 7.30am until 7:30pm every day of the year.

Walk the North Norfolk Coast Path

The North Norfolk Coast Path now runs from Hunstanton in west Norfolk round all the way to to Sea Palling on the north east Norfolk coast. Originally, the trail ended at Cromer but in December 2014, Norfolk’s first stretch of England Coast Path opened, extending the Norfolk Coast Path to Sea Palling.  The majority of this walking trail runs through the dramatic landscape of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Norfolk Trials website has some great circular walks, short linear walks and long linear walks, which are clearly marked and well indicated on the downloadable map.  You can also walk the whole route although not for a day-trip!

There is also an up-to-day list of other Long distance trails in Norfolk - Long distance trails - Norfolk County Council, which I hope to get around to putting on the blog soon!
