Norfolk - A State Of Mind

My mum always maintains that she's not from Norfolk as she was born in Hertfordshie. Sorry mum, but if you grew up in Norfolk, all your family are from Norfolk and you've lived most of your life in the county then birthplace is an accident of geography.
And to prove it.
I moved to North Lincolnshire a few years ago (hence i can write this blog in safety).
On her visit my mum remarked that it was light a lot later into the evening than at home.
"Why do you think that is "i asked, expecting the answer to be because their garden had large conifors along the western edge.
"That's obvious" she replied, "You live further North than us, it's the Nothern Lights. The Aurora Borealis"
Spot on as usual there mum. Glad you're not from Norfolk, the answer might have been silly.
