Perhaps I’ve just not been paying attention…but I don’t recall the UK monarchy inviting many of its political visitors to Sandringham…maybe Buckingham Palace, but not up to the calm tranquillity of #Norfolk.

Admittedly none of us normal folk are going to get to see him. But if we’re going to put out the red carpet and pull out all the stops for anyone, #Zelenskyy deserves it everyday over #Trump.

Decided to cash in my free family National Trust day pass for a trip to Oxburgh Hall, #Norfolk today.

Took the kids and my parents. It was sooo cold! Even inside. But we had fun!

Kids enjoyed identifying portraits of kings/queens/PMs, mum liked the furniture, dad was in his element taking photos of the architecture. I just drank it all in and wondered how many more days like this we’ll get to have.

In case you’re wondering why rural #Norfolk voters wouldn’t be Leavers, it was the casual Lib Dem vote that Starmer inadvertently picked up on.

Day 19 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Norfolk Hawker. Also known as Green-eyed Hawker, but don't tell our Norfolk county recorder that! This one at #RSPB #StrumpshawFen in July but they're now quite widespread outside #Norfolk too - they have been quite a conservation success story in recent years. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates

Day 6 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. One of our commonest species, the Blue-tailed Damselfly. This was at #RSPB #StrumpshawFen in #Norfolk in July, but there are probably some at the pond in your local park. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates

Day 5 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Brown Hawker is a very fast-flying species which doesn't settle often so I find it very hard to photograph. Except when a female is laying eggs, as here at the fantastic #RSPB #StrumpshawFen in #Norfolk in July. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates
