Having been over to Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse Museum today to do some gardening, I couldn’t resist snapping the front border, which was my first design and create project there a few years ago. The combination of grasses, shrubs and annuals was looking great in the sun, so here’s a sample. Sorry to show off!

This wonderful illustration and story titled ‘Norwich AD 2035 (A Prophetic Fantasy)’ written and illustrated by Mr W. T. Watling, an art master at the City of Norwich school has been unearthed by Norfolk Record Office.

The text describes a man taking a drug and finding himself transported to Norwich 100 years in the future! If you look closely, you can spot some notable Norwich landmarks in the futuristic landscape. The story was first published in ‘The Norwich Annual’ in 1935.
