this very fine town of Yarmouth yesterday about noon.

Those flags on the right would flutter in the icy gale blowing in off the North Sea - if they weren't so heavily rain sodden. It doesn't seem to put Joe Public off Yarmouth; with two piers and more fish and chip shops than you can shake a cod at.

Why are these six lovelies playing quoits 35m up a stone column built in 1819? They are celebrating the career of Admiral Horatio Nelson, born at the other end of Norfolk in Burnham Thorpe. Now neglected and stranded in a very unlovely industrial estate, the irony is that the French maintain Napoleon Bonaparte's monuments in rather better nick.

Rate this photo in terms of 1) Foreground interest 2) Composition (the no-parking sign right in the middle) and 3) Sky detail - and you may wonder why I bothered.

At the end of the River Waveney is Burgh Castle, one of the ' Saxon Shore Forts'. Only the
west wall has totally escaped being washed away and remains well
preserved. St.Fursey built a monastery here about AD 630.
Nice view over the marshes and Breydon Nature Reserve.
