I'm inspired to blog about my most recent findings when it comes to eating out in Norwich. Norwich Spotlight: The Ultimate Guide To Norwich It's most certainly no secret that I'm very much enjoying dating again, with my dark haired and stunning bearded man friend, we've been enjoying many fun days and nights out in Norwich City. You can even travel to Norwich from Cambridge on the Megabus from just £1 - read this review for more info - I do this myself sometimes even now, it's very handy indeed!
