An unexpected treat today amidst way too many pages about John Prescott - an Observer profile on Neil Young;

We've just spent a few days down in Norfolk. Here are the kids escaping the oncoming waves on Sheringham beach;

The beach is one we used to play on all the time when we were kids. Not sure how easy it would be these days. Check out a selection of the warning signs, all in a 100 metre stretch;

Wells was a bit more chilled. The weather got out nicely in the late afternoon, and with the tide out as well, it was beautiful;

Thursday morning we headed out to Holt Country Park early on. Here we are making a den on the Holt Lows;

The Observer on our journey from the sublime to the ridiculous;

Jason Shackell, unchallenged at a corner, thumped a header in off the bar. 'It came off the wrong corner of his head,' said Nigel Worthington. Gary Doherty, under pressure from Marcus Stewart, then slid in a cross. Norwich were running out of men to mark their own defenders. In front passes found team-mates on heels and opponents on toes. Carlo Nash, in Preston's goal, could have worn one of 5,000 Billy Davies masks issued for the crowd to show their appreciation.

And a year ago Norwich were beating Manchester United.
