glaciers, mountains, lakes and giants. Not a bit like Norfolk,
then.

 Don’t feed the duck!

Got something to say?
 Why
not be a blogger on EDP24? You can have your own blog -
a web diary to talk to the world.
You could be a worker, a busy mum, a student, farmer
or pensioner. What is happening in your life? How do you cope with
its stresses and the pleasures? You could be a Norfolk ex-pat wanting
to describe
your new life overseas - it's up to you.
Bloggers should be prepared to update regularly -
several times a week - but you need only add a paragraph or two
if you are short of time.
Interested? Email the EDP24 Webdesk webdesk@edp24.co.uk
with some information about yourself and an example of what you
would like to write about.
