Normal for Norfolk? Suffolk and Lincolnshire perhaps

EDP/James Bass

In Suffolk they just throw hundreds of ducks in the river for fun, thankfully they are of the plastic variety.

Over in the Fens, however, the respect for wildlife, dead or alive, can be somewhat more unusual.

'£200 fine for man who defecated on dead hedgehog'

Headline of the year so far.

Thankfully the image is unrelated to the main story.

In Norfolk? Well, watch this space...

Best British Beach Bestowal

It's official, Norfolk is better than Suffolk. Congratulations to Holkham for Coast magazine's Best British Beach award for the second year running whereas Southwold was only a runner up in the Best Family Holiday Destination category, well done anyway. At least, car parking aside, there is plenty of space for a few more visitors.
