My Norwich in the 1970's


Old cobbled streets, Norwich how I loved to walk down you, once a upon a time.
Gazing in street windows as the buses at night time passed us by.
Standing at the old station waiting for the train to take us to the seaside, to arrive.
Gray and purple uniform and catching snowflakes from the sky.
Burgundy skirts and pinafores and cartwheeling in the playground.
Seeing Pantomimes at Christmas ,who would play the dame this time?
Eating pomegranates for the first time
Conker fights and jam making
Seeing Midsummer Nights Dream being acted out at my brothers school,oh what a sight.
Oh the summer of 1976, the heat wave of that time.
Memories of craft and antique fairs and oh the purple curtains upstairs.
Lets not forget the guinea pigs and all the babies
Oh saving hedgehogs and it's a knockout games
oh these were the days I spent in Norwich, in the 1970's when I was such a little girl.
Time oh seemed to stand still.
Those big stained glass windows and the cathedral walls,
The broken down walls to the city
Going to Langely's and walking through a city that had so much history.
Yet these are the years I remember my time in Norwich in the 1970's.

Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights
There's always room for one more.
