Norwich Cathedral

Last weekend we went up to Norwich Cathedral - it has the second highest spire in the UK and one of the longest naves. It is a truly spectacular building.

One of the great aspects of the Cathedral is the fact that it is sitting in a 44 acre walled town within Norwich city. The whole effect is like that of a giant cloister with the cathedral as the centre piece.

The cathedral has been in place since 1096 and is a masterpiece of Norman architecture.

After wandering around the walled cathedral town we stumbled upon a lovely old church call St. George Tombland. We had a lovely little tour by someone there who pointed out the history of the church. It has a magnificent wooden ceiling untouched by fire and some fantastic ornate carvings of angels. Parts of the church date from the 13 century.

Norwich itself is a lovely city with some great pedestrian shopping streets.

We stayed at the Premier Inn near the train station which was great, it had a fantastic modern restaurant that was half pub half restaurant - but with very private seating, not crowded at all.

All up, Norwich was a great visit.

Now in Guildford - England

It has been awhile since we updated here and there have been many changes since living in Manly.

From Manly we moved to Everton Hills in the northern suburbs of Brisbane. We bought a lovely house there with a backyard and trees - we were living the suburban life.

In Feb '09 we brought the digital pen business into the Acorn Software business (makers of simPRO).

Then in June '09 we moved to the UK to open up a simPRO UK office. We have been doing that since July.

We are based in the lovely town of Guildford, about 1 hour south of London.

So now that we are back on the grid, we will do some regular updates.
