A sad sight on my walk to work. Looks like this Cringleford homeowner is about to extend their garden right up to Harts Lane and has cut down the trees/shrubs. A householder further down did this last year. Apparently it’s their land but historically the gardens didn’t extend right up to the path.

Wonder how many more buildings the UEA can put up before it maxes out its planning permission. If I were them I’d surreptitiously buying up farmland in Colney and Cringleford.

Occasionally, here in Norwich, I'm in touch with a local poet called Ron Nevett, who writes exclusively about our city and its history. He always rhymes, and today he sent me this free translation of one of Horace's Odes. So, for Norwich fans and Horace fans -- a niche audience, I know -- here it is

Horace in Norwich Odes II.15 Huge new-builds fill the fields now Cringleford A village fit for Audis not for ploughs is Where new Broads fatten koi carp and the wood Has fallen to strapped saplings ringing houses Where once in spring a farmer might still scent a Field of mustard flowers on the breeze See, all the planters that a garden centre Stocks now that patios have buried trees And shrubs hide wall-sized flatscreens from the sun. That weren’t always this way, bor – on the doors Of City Hall you’ll see how things were run When those who made our food still made our laws And civic spirit wove us on its loom: No gentleman of Jarrolds would remortgage For builder’s bills to add a garden room When house prices went north around his cottage And no-one then thought verges were a carpark – Yet everyone knew what it was to build all Things to last, and paid to leave their mark In flint flushwork, on churches and the Guildhall Ron Nevett

If you go down to the Yare today you’re sure of a big surprise - no way to the river from Cringleford Meadow car park. Poor Pinky!

One of those sorts of days when you walk your best pal, Pinky, in the rain and you see 2 roe deer 🦌 on Cringleford Meadow and you’re both like “yeah - that was nice” One of those days 😊
