On the 30th of August, Norwich’s icon, The Puppet Man sang his final encore. I didn’t realise til then that he was actually very famous! Norwich postcards would have him gracing the shiny little A6′s.
He said that he was retiring because the money isn’t as good as it used to be. Well, everyone’s feeling the pinch.

I am many things - a life coach, a diversity champion, a freelance writer and translator, a dog lover, a citizen of the world, etc - but never thought of myself as a photographer. Norwich inspires me to capture snapshots of this fine Norman city. Take a trip down Norwich lanes or enjoy a walk in the park with me.

Nice street scene. I hope he does ok in retirement. Is Starbucks popular there? My coffee-snob husband doesn’t care for it.

Awww! The Puppet Master is retired? That’s a real shame, Joy. Phil and I have been fans of his for years. He is one of the strangest pieces of street theatre in this or any city and he has the creepiest puppets I’ve ever seen.
We will really miss him.

Maybe everyone is spending their limited cash on Starbucks across the street.
Yeap, the economy isn’t doing well….esp. in the US.

Hi Joy! Here I am to enjoy your lovely blog on my weekly visit! And this week we have again some wonderful pictures. Norwich will probably be missing the Puppet Man…
Loved to see the rest of the elephants…
Look forward to reading you at Blogtrotter, now back in Chania!
Have a great weekend!
