As our first base for the search we are enjoying the hospitality of my Aunt Sheila in Norwich. As you will know, Norwich is famous for its football team The Canaries, after which they named the bird and the Canary Islands, dogs, all sorts of things due to their excellence and renown. Currently the Norwich City Football Club is developing the skill levels of the other clubs in the second tier of the English league, known as the Championship. They enhance the sport by letting other teams win sometimes but then showing how to really score goals (see 5-1 win against Nottingham Forrest a month back). Looks like the plan is to stay in the Championship division for one more year so as to give it the greatest benefit before doing the same for the Premier League.
I have a ticket to the upcoming match vs Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, about which I am very excited. Here's the proof:

A first day here was spent mostly at Auntie Sheila's, then a second with a trip to the city on the bus, wander through some old streets, lovely lunch at the Wetherspoon's pub "The Queen of Iceni", where a very nice curry and excellent local beer was less than half the price of a lesser meal at a Perth pub.
