Today is William Wordsworth’s birthday. A search of our collections yielded nothing on daffodils, but we do have lots of clouds! So for all of you intending to wander lonely this weekend & enjoy the lovely Norfolk countryside, here are some of our favourites - hope it stays dry!
In honour of #InternationalWomensDay here is the beautiful 'Flowers' by Emily Stannard, oil on canvas c.1840s.
At a young age Emily won numerous awards and is now considered one of the finest still life painters of the century. @NorfolkCC #IWD2018
