A clipping from The Telegraph newspaper that is headlined "Norfolk's the perfect place to banish Andrew to - it's brutal" accompanied by a picture of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor looking alarmed. So that's something.

A close-up photograph showing some heads of wheat, which make up the "costume" of the straw bear.

An impressionistic photograph of The Shard in London, by Simon Roberts
A photograph of a goldcrest.
A really splendid original poster map of Norfolk, published by British Railways (Eastern Region) and designed by Gordon Burrows in about 1951. The design features a wealth of charming vignettes to encourage the holidaymaker to visit the county’s many attractions. Unusually, the poster also includes the crests of the historic railway companies that first served the region, including the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union railways, together with the later Great Eastern, Midland & Great Northern, and London & North Eastern companies. The poster was possibly issued to coincide with the Festival of Britain, with the lions and canopy surrounding the title receiving a typical ‘Festival’ treatment.
A picture of a comma butterfly sat with wings open on an echinacea flower.
One of my favourite lines of text from the subtitles of Brigdet Christie's brilliant show The Change that states: "And why are you dressed like Julian Cope?"
A picture showing the corner of Boston City Hall in all its concrete finery. Described by many local residents as the ugliest building in the city. They're wrong it's a beauty.
An uninspiring photo of a muddy field that slowly fades into a foggy horizon.
Jim Moir, aka Vic Reeves, looks closely towards the camera, with a subtitle overlaid stating "Looking at things is the best thing ever."
