Little ol’ Norwich has been voted as one of the top twelve places to live in the UK according to the Sunday Times (as reported in our local rag, The Norwich Evening News). And then Time Out London did a full page spread praising Norwich as one of the happiest cities in the realm. The magazine recommends a few places we know well – The Grosvenor Fish Bar (voted as one of the best chippies anywhere), Wild Thyme for the veggies (but sadly out of action right now due to an inconvenient fire), The Plough (prettiest beer garden in the city), The Playhouse Bar (for an arty student vibe) and Strangers Coffee House (they have their own roastery). I could’ve written the piece myself.
So why are we thinking about laying our cloth cap in God’s Own Country when the time is right? Well, we like it Oop North and, as we shuffle towards our twilight years, it pays to be on the right side of God. Just in case.

Lucky you! The town near me (Bisbee, Arizona) was somehow named one of the best small towns. And I truly think it is.

I can’t believe I literally ran from the place when I was a young, frisky, handsome 18 year old! Now thinking of settling there for my later years!

Looks like Norwich starting getting noticed when you two arrived. Coincidence?

I agree, good to keep options open. Never know what the future brings.
