Norfolk Nick returned to his rightful home

After a long absence a familiar face has been put back in his rightful place in the city.
A stone plaque of a man who has been given the name 'Norfolk Nick' was re-instated on the back wall of the Shirehall Museum, home of the old Shirehall prison, in Castle Meadow.
The original plaque disappeared some time ago. It is believed it went missing in the 1990s when the Castle Museum was being refurbished.
Ingo Wagenknecht, the stonemason who has copied and carved the new plaque from existing photographs provided by a University of East Anglia employee, said: "His face has been known for decades here in Norwich and the plaque's disappearance after the Castle refurbishments was noted by many.
"A group of us starting talking about it via the internet and we decided to take it to another level and do something about it".
In fact the money for creating the new stone carving was donated by a former Norwich dweller, 'Matty' who used to live in Sheringham, but has now moved to Canada, and who remembered Norfolk Nick as she passed him each time she went to school.
Mr Wagenknecht said: "It has taken two years for this to come to fruition, but he is finally back up on the wall. Just who he is, though, and what his connection to the city is, remains a mystery.
"I think he may be representing some kind of goblin because of his funny-shaped ear and the hat he is wearing, but he could be one of the inmates or someone connected to the prison in another way."
The original mould which Mr Wagenknecht made for the stone carving is being kept at his south Norfolk home, so if Nick should go missing again, another plaque can be made.
Norfolk Property Services (NPS), Norwich City council and Landscape and Heritage have all supported the re-instatement of the plaque.
Peter Weavers from NPS said: "It is wonderful to see the plaque going back up in its rightful place. We are so glad that Ingo has taken it up on himself to do this."

While browsing through some of my Christmas images from this past holiday I found this picture of my Grandmother under our Christmas Tree. At first I was very dissappointed as I thought I had focused on her picture. And, even though I didn't I also thought that the f-stop was small enough to insure her picture was in focus. But, before I could delete it I realized something - this image actually represents how we feel about her at Christmas.
My Grandmother transitioned several years ago due to a long bout with Cancer. She was a fighter and lived a full life 13 years past her diagnosis. She was also our family's matriarch and keep everything and everyone in order. She had a big personality and a huge testimony to go with it, she was in every sense of the word "special."
And being a very close family her departure has been, and is still at times, difficult to deal with. But, we know she is with God and looks down on us all of the time. And, that's where this picture comes in - just like the picture above is not quite clear, she is there in the background. And, although she is no longer with us physically she is always there in the background spiritually. I believe it must have been the Holy Ghost that led me to take this picture in this manner, but I'm glad I listened to His small still voice. The more I think about it, the more special this picture becomes.
As we move into this new year may this image serve as a reminder to take time and tell the people that mean something to you that you cherish, honor, respect and love them. I told my Grandmother that I loved her, but not nearly as much as I should have. And, the old adage is true - once they're gone, they're gone. Make sure you tell the people that you love that you love them.

Walking to the local motorcycle dealer, I ran into my nicked bike on a side street just a few blocks from my house in fine condition. Looks like they tried to jimmy the lock but couldn't make it happen.
My friend is missing this white knob for the clamp on his roof tent. Think it is a standard M8 thread, same as an exhaust stud on a standard aircooled VW head.
