A rather nice website about people who make rather nice things (including an outfitters which used to see a lot of my custom but which has now moved from Norwich to the less accessible Hampstead-on-Sea of Holt. I must visit again as the waists of all the trousers seem to have shrunk)

Oh! Do look at Bill Bontoft http://www.slowcoast.co.uk/soundslides/soundslide.php?id=74
The stick maker from Manby, just near where I live. His voice is an absolutely perfect example of the accent found on the Lincolnshire Marsh.

The Auction on the Green at Burnham Market brought tears to my eyes--- I love/d going to those sales when we lived there. Recognised a few faces too!!
Interesting site Gareth.

Many thanks to Evelyn if she's still reading- that's a lovely website. Must go shopping in Old Town at some point.

Awww, he was gorgeous. I grew up with an accent approaching that, but it was beaten out of me at boarding school in Stamford.
