Today at work I went to wish Norfolk's oldest resident a happy 108th birthday. We ended up playing cards.
Genna remains fun, friendly and spectacularly straight-talking. Don't miss her on @itvanglia tonight.

A real privilege to be there as @IpswichTown sealed promotion.

In a corner of West Norfolk lies a colour-soaked kingdom. A poser’s promised land, where pouts are plentiful and profile pictures peak.
I spent my morning amongst 9.1 million tulips & hordes of selfie-hunters for @itvanglia.
🌷Tulips for Tapping as wonderful as ever🌷

🤡👑 The Rastellis are clowning royalty 👑🤡
They've performed for the pope, alongside the likes of Ken Dodd & Tommy Cooper - and all across the world.
Now in their 70s, the brothers have been tempted out of retirement... and they're currently in Norfolk.

This week we were live from our coast, looking at communities at risk from erosion.
@RobSetchell has produced this heart-breaking documentary. It also explores whether there's anything we can actually do about it...

Communities lots of us love are falling into the sea.
For more than a decade, we've followed the stories of people living on the edge of Norfolk's crumbling coast.
We've collated them in an @itvanglia doc 'Against the Tide' - now available on @ITVX.

As MPs, including @Jenny4SuffCoast, @Steffanaquarone & @RupertLowe10, continue to hear about the human cost of coastal erosion - these are some reflections on a decade of destruction.
Is it fair to leave these places in a constant cycle of despair?
