Holt, who goes there ?
Well, I did yesterday.... (the Georgian town in Norfolk that is...)

Saw great Peter Blake exhibition at Bircham Gallery, and also snapped up a bottle of Arran malt from Larners.
We used to go to Bircham Gallery when it was in... Bircham...
Some great Howard Phipps etchings too (as seen at the top of the post). Very landscape oriented, which fits my recent preoccupation with all things landscape...

Holt is one of those places which is experiencing a lot of gentrification. Featured in the new textbook for Edexcel AS from Oxford as part of the Unequal Spaces unit: Inequalities in East Anglia. There are certainly some major differences in HOUSE PRICES in different areas, such as Burnham "Mark-Up" Market. Good in a way, as my house is worth a lot more than it would be in some other parts of the county and country.

Tea and cake at Byfords, which has changed a lot since we started going there over 10 years ago.

This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other." "The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide. In the Distribution Centre there are four different picking levels in the picking tower with
