Daniel's favourites

I have lived in Sydney in Australia for more than four years, but I come from Wickmere in North Norfolk and my favourite place is not far from there.

The Matlaske Airfield is where I and many other people learned to drive. Nearby is a small valley where you can see across to Little Barningham.

It seems to be a great place to take in a classical North Norfolk view at any time of year. It is a great place to visit when I come home.

I also have a soft spot for Cromer in the winter, which most people don't seem to understand, and I love the ford in Erpingham.

I try to return to Norfolk about once a year. My mum and most of my friends live there. I was last back in August 2001 and loved it.

I moved to Australia because I met an Aussie girl while working in London. Her visa was close to expiring and she was returning home, so I decided to follow and have been here ever since. Norfolk is a place I'm sure I'll return to one day to live again.

From Daniel Thomas, Sydney, Australia.
