Watch the Weather Change: The Hemsby Weather Station

North of Great Yarmouth, just outside of the small seaside village of Hemsby, are the remains of a former meteorological station. Abandoned for around a decade now, the site is now in quite a state. When in use, the station gathered information for the Met Office.

In the recent past the site has been mooted as a possible location for a new wind farm (there is an existing wind farm nearby at the fabulously named Blood Hill), but at present there is no sign of development here.

Up on the Roof (of Norwich's Royal Arcade)

Having a look around the rooftop of the Royal Arcade, Norwich. Although George Skipper's Arcade dates back over a century, so many bits and pieces have been added over the years that there's not really much of any major interest up there, other than blue skies and pigeons. Always nice to see a familiar city from a slightly different angle, though.
