Is Fishing on the Norfolk Broads a Good Catch?
Tumblr media
  For all the avid anglers out there looking for a perfect fishing getaway, look no further than Norfolk on the East Coast of England. With its vast stretches of coastline, abundance of rivers and lakes, and varied marine life, Norfolk is a haven for fishing enthusiasts. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced angler, Norfolk has a lot to offer for a fulfilling and rejuvenating fishing holiday. In this article, we will explore why Norfolk is the ultimate destination for fishing holidays and what you can expect during your stay.  
Abundant Marine Life
Norfolk's coastline stretches for over 90 miles and is home to a diverse range of fish species such as bass, flatfish, mackerel, and cod. There are several fishing charters available that can take you on exciting deep-sea fishing trips where you can reel in big catches like skate, conger eels, and even sharks. Additionally, the Norfolk Broads, a vast network of rivers and lakes, are filled with pike, bream, roach, and tench. You can hire a boat or fish from the bank and catch some of the delicious freshwater fish that Norfolk has to offer.

From sandy beaches to rocky cliff ledges, each habitat supports a diverse range of marine life that varies depending on the tides and weather conditions. Some of the most well-known British creatures can be found in Norfolk's waters. Particularly popular are the Atlantic grey seals, the common dolphins, and the harbor porpoises. These animals can often be seen playing and swimming off the coast, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to spot them from the shore.  
Tumblr media

The coastline boasts of having over 14 types of fish species. The coastline is home to some of the UK's most sought-after fish species, such as cod, whiting, plaice, bass, and mackerel, making it an ideal place to fish for sport or to indulge in a spot of sea-to-fork dining. Norfolk also plays host to many seabird species, such as the puffin, guillemot, and razorbills. Norfolk's waters aren't just famous for their marine mammals, fish, and seabirds. But, the coastline is also home to some of the UK's most breathtakingly expansive mussel beds, oyster beds, and salt marshes. These protect rich habitats that are essential to local ecology and provide vital food sources for the abundant marine life off the coast. Mussel and oyster fishing are traditional industries that are still widespread along the coast. Being able to visit the shellfish industry and try these local delicacies is a must-do experience.

Geograph.   Nature Reserves The North Norfolk coast is home to a variety of nature reserves that are crucial to the survival of many marine creatures in the area. The Cromer Shoals Chalk Reef, situated just over a mile off the coast, is one fantastic example of a designated marine conservation zone. This site stretches over 20 miles and provides a habitat for over 300 species of fish and other marine life. Other popular reserves include Titchwell Marsh, Cley Marshes, and Blakeney Point, which is home to the largest seal colony in England.

Scenic Locations
One of the top activities that both parents and children can get involved in is fishing. Norfolk has plenty of family-friendly fishing locations, including Taverham Mill Fishery and Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park. At Taverham Mill, you can enjoy a peaceful day by the lake with your family, where your kids can learn the art of fishing and catch some fish themselves. Pleasurewood Hills, on the other hand, offers a perfect combination of fishing and theme park rides. Whether you're an experienced angler or a beginner, fishing in Norfolk is a fun and educational experience for the whole family.  
Tumblr media

The Broads, the UK's largest protected wetland, is a unique landscape of water, broads, and marshes, offering a chance to see varied wildlife, birds, and plants. Your family can also take a boat trip and explore the tranquil waterways of the Broads, which stretch across 125 miles. Another nature reserve worth visiting is Blickling Estate, which is home to ancient woodland, rolling farmland, and a stunning Jacobean house. It has several walking trails that are perfect for families and lead to gardens, lakes, and temples.

Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, for instance, is a gem for history buffs, housing archaeological treasures dating back to the Roman era. Children will enjoy exploring the castle's turret, which provides a panoramic view of the surrounding cityscape. Another historic landmark that you shouldn't miss is the 900-year-old Castle Rising, which is surrounded by a moat and has an interactive exhibition that tells the story of its history.

One such garden is the East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden, a ten-acre garden with a mix of traditional and exotic plants. The garden is divided into different sections, each with its unique character, including a Mediterranean-style garden and a water garden. Your family can also enjoy a relaxing walk around Holkham Hall's Walled Garden, which boasts an array of vegetables, herbs, and fruit trees, plus a glasshouse filled with colourful flowers.  
Varied Accommodation Options
Norfolk has a wide range of accommodation options that cater to all types of anglers. From cozy cottages to luxury lodges, there is something for everyone. Many accommodations offer fishing packages that include guided fishing tours, gear rental, and bait. You could also choose to stay near the coastline or inland, depending on your preference. With very comfortable accommodation available in Norfolk, you can rest after a long day of fishing and wake up to beautiful scenery.

Festivals and Events
Norfolk is renowned for its annual fishing festivals and events that attract anglers from around the country. The Cromer Crab and Lobster Festival is a popular event that celebrates the coastal town's seafood traditions with cooking competitions, crabbing, and boat races. The Norfolk and Suffolk Fly Fishers Club also hosts regular events that feature fly-fishing competitions and workshops. Attending these events can be a great way to connect with other anglers and explore the region's fishing culture.

The Gits — Enter: The Conquering Chicken/Seafish Louisville (Sub Pop)
Tumblr media
The music zeitgeist rolled right over Mia Zapata and the Gits, barely stopping to glance at her eruptive mesh of metal riff and blues fluency, of punk urgency and classic rock swagger. Before and after Zapata’s run, women were meant to warble and coo, not howl in fiery triumph or roll notes on flame around in their mouths, so that they slithered and coiled and hissed out on the stage. It’s one of rock and roll’s great missed turns, her exit and subsequent disappearance, a path not taken, a path just about entirely forgotten.
Well, not so fast, says Sub Pop, a label with authority in the Pacific Northwest’s grunge-punk-rock evolution. They’re reissuing all four Gits albums, remastered by Jack Endino, and packaged with notes from Tim Sommer, the Atlantic A&R representative who might have pushed the Gits out into the mainstream if there had been more time for that.
Four albums, but let’s focus on two for now, the second full-length Enter: The Conquering Chicken from 1994 and Seafish Louisville, a compilation of demos, live cuts and alternate takes originally put out in 2000. You’ll have to read Jonathan Shaw for his take on the debut, Frenching the Bully, or the early recordings collected in Kings and Queens. We split up the bounty, two each, and as it happens, he got the prologue, while I took the post-mortem.
Enter: The Conquering Chicken would, quite possibly, have catapulted the Gits onto a wider stage, enlarging the full-throated blues rock aesthetic that the band had proposed on Frenching the Bully, going head-long and full-on in their celebration of drinking, comradeship and rock and roll. The Gits had already started on it in July of 1993, when Zapata, walking home from a club, was raped and murdered. The band finished it without her, but that was it for the Gits. They broke up soon after.
The tragedy at the end of the Gits story understandably cast a shadow over the bands’ output. It was hard to listen to the music just as it was, without the backstory. But now, more than three decades later, it feels possible to consider these songs as songs, finally, and holy hell, do they rock. Here’s the monster-riffed “Seaweed,” lumbering over an insurgent rhythm, Zapata in middle of it, her voice fluttering and confiding, then erupting in an all-consuming belt. The interplay of bass and guitar is more like Van Halen than anything punk, just gigantically sized, clean and propulsive. Looking to pogo? Try “Drunks” with its manic one-two punch, its thundering speed, its rockabilly flourishes, its all hands shout of the title. “Precious Blood,” by contrast, is all slouchy, in the pocket blues, Zapata not forcing anything, letting the melody roll and flow, as the noise builds in around her. She’s in the same mode on her riff on Sam Cooke’s “Change Is Going to Come,” letting the big notes shudder and blossom with vibrato, snaking the melody around massive metal guitar blasts. And though it’s impossible to pigeonhole Zapata or the band she fronts by genre, it is also instantly clear who they are, seconds into any song, regardless of style or tempo.  
The disc closes on a disturbing note, with a track — “Song of the Crab” — that seems to foreshadow Zapata’s untimely end. Against a firestorm of metal-adjacent guitar work, Zapata howls, “Never ceases to amaze me the things you’ll try to pull/Anything to get me in and then get me killed/Go ahead and slash me up spread me all across this town/‘Cause you know you’re the one that won’t be found.” Chilling.
If Enter: The Conquering Chicken marks the natural end of the Gits trajectory, Seafish Louisville comes seven years after the fact. It collects 16 previously unreleased tracks, ten of them live sessions at the RCKCNDY club, a Seattle punk mainstay that closed in 1999. And yet, while the comp is archival, it does a lot to bring the Gits into the here and now. A scorching version of the Gits signature “Another Shot of Whiskey,” a manic take on “A” at unhinged speed, a thundering, blistered romp through “Slaughter of Bruce” — here’s a record that puts you right up against the stage within spitting distance in an eternal hard-rocking present. Seafish also makes the case that whatever you think you know about the Gits, there’s more to discover. A previously unknown cut, “Whirlwind” thrashes and rages at the beginning of the track listening.
Gits revivals recur at intervals. I first encountered the band during a previous one, around the release of the 2005 documentary The Gits. But both then and now, what struck me hardest was how astonishing it was that music this powerful could happen and disappear and fail to move the dialogue. Maybe this time, it will be different? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hear this, if you haven’t, or that you can’t profit from revisiting it if you have.

Dry Fish category includes different types of seafood/ fish dried in direct sunlight under extremely hyegenic conditions protected from birds, pests, rodents, etc.
Dry fish such as dried, salted, and smoked fish, marinated fish, canned seafood, minced fish flesh such as surimi
Stockfish is unsalted fish, especially cod, dried by cold air and wind on wooden racks on the foreshore. The drying racks are known as fish flakes. Cod is the most common fish used in stockfish production, though other whitefish, such as pollock, haddock, ling and tusk, are also used.
Bangladesh introduced me to her famous shutki bhortas, Burma gave me the unique Balachaung, Thailand taught me the versatile use of Fish Sauce and endless variations of dried fish.

Blue Lock Headcanoas!!
mainly complementary for my ao3 Bastard Truth, but also just thought of them on the way
in no particular order
Tumblr media
Hiori:
he’s a lot harsher and more honest/crude with his roommates Isagi, Kurona and Yukimura than with others
usually very nice and sweet to strangers and new friends, as we can see with his first meeting with Isagi and Nanase, obviously on the soccer field he’s more aggressive, but now that he has found his true purpose and he has gotten comfortable with his friend group, he lets himself much more loose
we’ve already seen that in the manga but he loves talking in gaming terms because our boy is a certified  g a m e r
Tumblr media
Kurona:
falls asleep like a statue with his face to the ceiling, but after falling asleep he will move around a LOT, even accidentally waking himself up sometimes lmao (already mentioned that)
there was one time where he woke everyone up by pushing a lamp down the table, that’s how everyone ended up knowing
no confirmed family, but I like to imagine he has sisters that used to play with his hair (and he also likes to play with his hair since he was small). So they would always end up making braids into it, and he picked up that habit as well
he’s a simple soul but cares a great deal about his friends, and can pick up on small social cues, not as well as Hiori who does it with his analytical mind, but Kurona does it by intuition and it works really well sometimes (sometimes not so)
every joke that comes from his mouth is also a genuine question
in another universe, he would be my cute little pet shark, accompanying me on my daily morning seafish massacres
Yukimura:
Tumblr media
Kaiser:
mentally unstable, sometimes has suicidal thoughts, but strongly suppresses them
takes different medication to function, from mood stabilizers to sleeping pills
if he doesn’t take sleeping pills, he can’t fall asleep as he will just keep repeating his ptsd flashbacks in his head
he doesn’t really like sleeping on the soft mattress that he gets in hotels or initially in the Blue Lock facility, will sometimes end up sleeping on the floor, but he complained about it to Ego and he made him a custom mattress
very tech-inept (usually that’s a fun character quirk, in this case not so much…)
can use basic features of a phone, knows what social media is but barely uses it outside of interviews
likes to read after he learned reading (confirmed canon)
he sometimes thinks about his mom… once in a year maybe. But when he does, he’ll think about her a lot. Every possible scenario. Every what-if. Until he represses all his thoughts for another year
his eyeliner is not just for show. it partly is, but it’s also yet another thing to set himself apart from his dad
he has terrible handwriting, but he has perfected his autograph to a T and it looks so elegant and beautiful you wouldn’t even fathom that his usual writing looks like doctors’ notes
his parents met at the Berlinale
Tumblr media
Isagi:
he really wasn’t trying to hide his injuries very much because when it comes to things outside his expertise, which is soccer and keeping his schedule, he tends to be a bit klutzy
yes, he has metavision and it helps him outside of the soccer field as well, but that’s more for short-term unexpected scenarios
spoiler
Also I was recently looking at Isagi’s profile again and his strengths/weaknesses are very relatable lmao
Strengths: Finding the good in others.
Weakness: Looking too much at other’s expressions.
Tell me that's not a good boy who truly cares about others??? (and then on the soccer field he won't give a f* lmao)
Tumblr media
Noa:
he’s French, but his personality is so stereotypically German omg, according to his wiki he’s been like that since small but I like to imagine that he picked up some habits from his German colleagues
this is fun because now I can imagine all the German stereotypes on him lmao
he doesn’t like being late and he hates it when others are late
he has no sense of humour
he wears socks under sandals
at the beach he reserves seats by putting a towel on them (it’s not part of the rules, but at the beach there are no rules)
he doesn’t necessarily like Japanese polite nature, but he acknowledges its strengths (which is why he was even more surprised when he met Ego with his very untypical crude nature)
more on the way!

Folklore Fact - Wyverns
Another month, another folklore fact! Wyverns handily won the poll over on my Patreon this month (be sure to take a look if you'd like to vote in the next one or even suggest all new subjects!)...
Tumblr media
(nearly all modern dragon designs seen in visual media, especially film and television but now quite often also video games, count as the traditional British heraldic classification of wyverns, really; see my post here for a discussion of that, although I could expand that post today and discuss things like Monster Hunter, etc, which I didn't really know much about at the time, and even further discuss some of the subjects already therein... Anyway, maybe I'll revise that sometime in the future and improve it)
Wyverns are often described as a dragon with two hind legs, two wings, no forelegs, and a barbed tail. There are varieties, of course; some say the wyvern has the head of a dragon, the legs of an eagle, and a barbed "serpent tail" or simply a long tail with no barb. There are many varieties. Traditionally, at least if you ask English heraldry, the requirement to be a wyvern is that it has no forelegs - unlike the dragon, which has four legs in addition to wings. However, this is a technicality that was obviously not always applied elsewhere, including the European mainland. More on that shortly.
The word "wyvern" is not in itself all that old; it originated around 1600, derived from "wyver" from 1300, so the term is not ancient. Like dragon, it essentially means "snake," though in this case it is derived from "viper." As mentioned, "dragon" itself is derived from "drakon" meaning serpent (and/or "giant seafish") [source: again, one of my favorite sites].
Tumblr media
Stamp of Clifford, Anne, Countess of Dorset (1590 - 1676) [source], depicting a wyvern.
There was apparently some discussion around the rise of the heraldic wyvern in England, Scotland, and Ireland regarding what exactly classified a wyvern as opposed to a dragon. In 1610, the writings of John Guillim described a wyvern (then "wiverne") thus: "partake[ing] of a Fowle in the Wings and Legs … and doth resemble a Serpent in the Taile," and in 1682, John Gibbon agrees that a wyvern specifically has "but" two legs. It is noteworthy that both men in question were officers of heraldry, and these remarks are quotations from book on coats of arms, and thus it was specifically heraldry they discussed.
"Wyverns" as per monsters of myth and folklore were, for most intents and purposes of their time period, referred to as "dragons" and not thought of as their own sort of beast rather than just a variation of dragon for heraldry specifically or even exclusively. Were there any legends about something called a "wyvern?" I haven't found any in all my extensive research on dragon legends, and most all academic sources agree that a "wyvern" is a heraldic creature rather than something you'd find in a bestiary and/or folktale.
Tumblr media
As mentioned, depictions of what we today might think of as "wyverns" were not always called "wyverns," of course, especially throughout a lot of Europe (as opposed to Great Britain). Here we see a depiction of what we would now think of as a "wyvern" referred to as a dragon ("drago"), from a work dated 1691, so during the same time period that heraldic wyverns were already being classified as such.
There are also bestiaries and other things that depict two-legged dragons as "dragons" rather than ever referring to them as "wyverns" specifically, and the creatures depicted therein were in fact meant to simply be "dragons." Older eras lacked the picky categorization that exists more recently, particularly myth and folklore. This is why there are no "categories" of werewolf legends, either, for instance, or different "types" of werewolves - except as put on them retroactively by modern scholars.
Tumblr media
A "wyvern" from 1380 in the Chester Cathedral in England; given its hooves and head of a man, it isn't exactly a "standard" wyvern.
So, again, the idea of the wyvern as a unique creature as opposed to another sort of dragon likely stemmed from heraldry - which in itself has a lot of unique creatures and specifics, such as the enfield and bagwyn - and specifically heraldry from Great Britain and Ireland, which meant that such defined notions of a wyvern came about in later centuries. There are certainly depictions of dragons and dragon-like creatures without forelegs from other centuries, such as the 1300s, but these are not explicitly as sourced "wyverns" during their own time period. Rather, they are described as such now by people retroactively applying the wyvern concept onto them. Such a concept became common starting around the 1600s, as mentioned earlier with the heraldic writings of Guillim and Gibbon. There are plenty of examples of "dragons" with two legs and, sometimes, even "wyverns" with four legs floating around out there.
But since modernity also thrives on technicality, categories, and specifics, things like D&D for a while there often referred to a "wyvern" as a two-legged dragon (which I personally find preferable, despite my usual aversion to categorization of mythological things) - at least, until a lot of media is today started changing that ever since Reign of Fire in 2003. These days, outside of a handful of fantasy things, like D&D with their older established rules and a few other fantasy games that originated before this sweeping design change occurred, dragons very often have two legs instead of four. I could say a lot more about that, but I won't get into it...
And that covers a general overview on wyverns! Until next time. For June, expect to see a brand new werewolf fact.
