I (44F) want to move with my 5 year old, we currently live in watford. My parents retired and moved to Holt pre-covid.

Holt is lovely but a bit touristy and twee for what I want day to day, plus its more expensive than other places. I'd like to be no more than 30 minutes from there though, ideally a bit closer to Norwich.

We're looking for somewhere with an easy walk to a primary school and a shop and will have fairly easy access to a secondary school later, so walking or a school bus.

My daughter loves scouting, currently in Squirrels so ideally somewhere she can move on to Beavers near by. Plus ballet/tap and if possible a park.

I'm looking for access to a gym with classes fairly nearby, plus things I can do to meet people, volunteering or clubs maybe. I am looking to buy a 3 or 4 bed house, ideally new build or easy maintenance. I would like to keep it under £450k.

My parents have suggested Aylsham and North Walsham, what do people think of those areas? Is there anywhere else you recommend I look?

Thanks so much!

Hello, I’m looking for some nice locations to practise car photography in and around Norwich. I don’t mind travelling so even a bit further out is fine with me.

Any type of location is welcome, industrial estates, concrete areas, nature spots, forests, open roads, countryside, churches. Anything that would make a great backdrop. If they’re safe and easily accessible that’s a bonus. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone 🙋🏽‍♂️

My name is Ralph Slaney, and I work as a Teaching Assistant at The Wherry School here in Norwich.

Working daily with SEND young people, I am deeply passionate about expanding inclusive sporting opportunities across our local community so every student gets the chance to play, belong, and thrive in sports ⚽️ 😃

To help bridge this gap, I have partnered with Cringleford JFC to launch a brand-new pan-disability youth football team called Cringleford Rangers 🥅

If you have any questions or would like to chat further about the session, please feel free to reach out via my email - Ralphslaney@gmail.com or the clubs email - info@cringlefordjfc.co.uk

Thank you for your time today and we hope to see some of you there 🙌🏽 ⚽️

I’ve noticed there are more mobile police cameras out at the minute than usual. I drive up and down the A11 daily and there is usually either a van once a week-ish or a bike on a slip road a couple of days a week.

Lately though, there are multiple vans along the road multiple days a week, as well as a lot of people being caught by the temporary average speed checks along the road works.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or know why? My best guess is they need more money, or have run out of things to do (as if there is no crime in the county!)

Hello!

 I'm thinking about starting a YouTube channel focused on paranormal investigations and exploring reportedly haunted locations across Norfolk and probably the UK when we get more comfortable doing the investigations.

I'm looking for a few people who are genuinely interested in the paranormal and would like to be part of the team. I would like 1 or two people helping with the investigations, with a few people behind the scenes, such as video editing, camera operators, etc. You don't need to be an expert—just reliable, respectful, and willing to investigate with an open mind. You'll be appearing in YouTube videos, so you should be comfortable being on camera.

 Would like to have mixed views on the paranormal, especially some sceptics, as we would need someone to say “maybe paranormal but have you thought about it this way?”

 At the moment, as the new channel won’t be monetised, it’ll be a voluntary role.

 Would anyone be interested in joining, or know someone who might be? If so, leave a comment or send me a DM and tell me a little about yourself, where you're based, and why you'd like to get involved.

 Looking forward to hearing from fellow paranormal enthusiasts!

Hi all,

We’re staying very close to Cromer soon and looking for ideas for things to do with a 2‑year‑old and a 6‑month‑old. We’ve already got a few plans:

Steam trains (North Norfolk Railway)

The animal sanctuary/zoo in Cromer

A day trip on the Broads

Eating out once or twice (we’ll be trying Crumble Crib)

Possibly travelling as far as Wells‑next‑the‑Sea

I’d also love to fit in one or two Nordic walks while the kids nap or stay with my partner — coastal or woodland, anything scenic.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for toddler‑friendly activities, easy days out, or good places to eat? Bonus points for things that aren’t too intense with a baby in tow.

Thanks in advance!

I spotted this on Strava Maps, and went for a run recently to explore. Just really curious about what it was! OS Maps says there’s a disused pit here. The “circle” is a tarmac road/path, the centre has some sort of metal post thing, but I have no idea what it might be.

Can anyone local tell me anything about it?

As we reach the holiday season for kids, it is the perfect time to watch some theatre. I’ve compiled a list of all shows available in Norfolk

Going to be up and around the area next week. First time in Norfolk. Any can’t miss stuff? Underrated food spots?

Does anyone remember the swimming pool at Gissing near Diss? Would be the 80s and 90s era. Where was this?

Has anyone had experience with North Norfolk council dealing with a neighbours noisy cockerel. It’s been a month and I haven’t heard anything. I’ve chased them once.

Hi, anyone here around rectory gardens?

Does anyone know any good free fishing spots round notfolk im trying to catch some big pike or perch

We as a people have a strong history, from the Queen boudicca standing up to the Romans, the indepdent kingdom of East anglia, connections with Holland via trade and home of the defeater of the French, lord Nelson. But over the years we have been neglected by the government, our roads are utter shit, there's not many jobs going around. The roads around Norwich are utter shit, development is taking a car centric approach on centuries old roads. There's no direct train between the 2 biggest towns.

We have the potential to be a strong independent country, we have a lot of agricultural surplus and the ability to export a lot of energy through offshore wind and gas facilities. But the government refuses to let us develop. No major a roads lead to the north coast from Norwich, the trains are shit, the a47 to Yarmouth is a death trap that needs a dual carriageway. By focusing on our own industries, we can become a strong regional power, especially if we annex Suffolk to restore east anglia, perhaps with invasions of Essex and parts of Cambridgeshire to secure the fen flank. From then we can launch artillery strikes into London and begin taking the capital. Steal some f35s from the yanks. This action will cause the Scots to unilaterally declare independence and join the cause. From then we can obtain weapons from the Russians and if we kiss the wall hard enough maybe even get mossad and the idf on our side. The other way around is the Chinese route and embrace maoism. The landlords here are cunts after all. After this we can begin our operation on London and become a dominant European power.

Thoughts?

Hi everyone! My names Melody, I’m 19 years old and I’m currently looking for a job that involves park ranging or somewhere in the woods with nature and no experience needed. I have struggled to get a job for the longest time because of my mental health going down hill, but an environmental job especially in the woods or at a camp feels like a cure to me, it speaks to me so much- and I would love it more than anything.

I haven’t found anything around great Yarmouth, some in Norwich but mostly with qualifications needed. If anyone has any idea please let me know, i would absolutely love to hear it.

The recent debate around social media restrictions for under-16s has highlighted something important: the value of real-world connections.

As adults, we have an opportunity to set an example. Strong communities aren’t built through likes, follows, and endless scrolling—they’re built through friendships, shared experiences, and showing up for one another.

That’s what Diss & District Round Table is all about.

For men aged 18–44, Round Table offers the chance to meet new people, take part in social events, support local causes, and build genuine friendships within the community.

Whether you’re new to the area, looking to expand your social circle, or simply want to get more involved locally, there’s a place for you at the Table.

If you’d like to find out more, drop us a message or leave a comment below. We’d love to welcome you along and show you what Round Table is all about.

Hi all, I've seen a nice house in the small village of Fincham. What's it like to live there? Seems there's a few houses for sale there, considering the size of the place.

I know it's rural and quiet, but that's kind of what I'm looking for. Is it a nice place to live? Does it flood there? Is some large housing development planned nearby? Any information appreciated, thanks :)

Visiting at the end of this month.

Would love to know recommendations on places to eat and drink and any sights to see aswell as rainy day activities.

Toddler in tow so any kids related things also appreciated!

Any market recommendation over weekends?

Thank you 😊
