Well there are several Norfolk Galanthophiles  ;D and if you like birds Pensthorpe is a good place to be.  The prairie planting is great in the later part of the year!  Communications is the thing, it's a long way from here to the West, North and South but easier to get to the Midlands and London.

Lord Heseltine's residence no less.....................

If I met him would I have to call him 'Lord'? ???

I really wouldn't want to.

I daresay you could David but if you think I'm going to call you "Sir," think again. Think yourself darned lucky to get "Hey, You!"

I heard he spent a fortune on snowdrops that day Emma.

You never know what this job could lead to.

Hope you get it!
