North Norfolk

There's some crackers in York that I haven't yet seen, so we'll be doing that.

But anyway, after that, we're going to North Norfolk.

Oh, wonderful.

Which, for those of you who've never been, is one of the most wonderful places in the world.

A very good morning to you.

Did we do, what did we do last year for Halloween? I'm getting loads of messages saying, are you going to do more spooky stories? That all sounds a bit North Norfolk digital.

Are you sure it was this show? This hard-hitting, highfalutin intellectual salon? Plato's Symposium? Live on your radio every day? Are you sure we did? Did we do that, really? Was it any good? I can't remember.

Maybe I've had my mind wiped by some sort of phantom menace.

Her body was found the next day holding her shucking knife and she was apparently buried in the local churchyard.

Locals and walkers say that on cold, foggy nights, Nancy's ghost still roams the treacherous salt marshes and you can hear her terrified and angry screams echoing through the mist, a ghostly warning to you about the deadly, unpredictable tides of the North Norfolk coast.

So, next time you're out walking on the salt marshes, listen out for Nancy.

And if you hear her warning, maybe it's time to turn back and head home straight away.

Yeah, no, I've got one here.

And this has come in on the email, which, of course, is info at potsandtrowels.com. And this has come in from Becky, who is in North Norfolk.

Not that that affects the question, because it's actually about a house plan.

So we don't really need to know whether Becky's in Norfolk, but it's always nice to know, Becky.

So thank you.

So Becky says that she's got a large aspidistra.

This week's Sunday Snippets is the second of our two sessions on pilgrimage.

This week Michael is exploring with us the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, a place in North Norfolk that has since 1061 been a place of Christian pilgrimage.

It is alive and well today, welcoming Christian pilgrims across the Anglican, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches.

We are planning our own group pilgrimage from Friday the 24th of September to Sunday the 26th of September 2027.

Any questions on that before we move to the history of Walsingham? So looking at those dates, Lourdes, 1858, Vatimer, 1917, Walsingham, 1061.

So we're way ahead of the game in terms of shrines of Our Lady.

and it is in North Norfolk.

And the history of Walsium is again a vision of Our Lady.

And then...

Somehow I found out that he had died and had apparently been buried somewhere in North Norfolk.

I made an expedition and visited various country churchyards and found the churchyard which I thought was probably the right one.

But there was no gravestone and I was about to leave when I found a sort of rather pathetic looking wooden cross in the corner of the graveyard with his name on it.

If there are drones over the base, if you are tracking them on radar, why the hell couldn't the best technology of the United States and the United Kingdom follow these objects to whence they came from and catch the people supposedly responsible for deploying them?

sorry go on at the time I remember people saying that they'd heard on the radio that they were following somebody in a car in Newmarket which is not silly far from here and he was acting suspicious and they thought maybe he was flying something and they were tracking him but I never heard anything more about that then there was rumours that they were off the coast off the North Norfolk coast they were being deployed from there.

But again, there's no evidence of anything of any of them being tracked that I know of.

Maybe Mike knows different, but from my point of view, I've never really heard anything that was tracked and they found out where they were coming from or going to.
