Now I'm in Beijing, here's a little of Norfolk, UK.

I love that each region of the UK is unique. Accents still vary, unlike the universal Australian one. Construction materials differ, depending on local stone. Houses in the older areas are often hundreds of years old, even though the interiors may have been guttered and modernised. Norfolk is flat and seasidey. It also has Sandringham, the Royal estate when King George V1 died, bringing Elizabeth back from Africa to take on her father's job.

This lighthouse overlooks the North Sea and a flotilla of offshore wind turbines.

Wanna buy a coastguard building? I think it would make a wonderful holiday let.

And the Queen visited there once. She may pop in for tea again one day, when she's bored at Sandringham.

There are these amazing cliffs. Tim would have explained the fantastic layering.

The North Sea isn't toooo cold...

Like all good beaches, civilised dogs are allowed.

These beacons stretch around the whole coast of England, each visible from the next. When they can find the fuel.

It's all very lovely. And the fish 'n chips are good too!

Sometimes the locals wade, and if they remember, they bring knotted white handkerchiefs to protect their heads from the sun. No donkey rides though.
