Secret Bologna

24/10/2018

Bologna has some 40km of porticos in total, since while the other Italian cities banned them, Bologna made them compulsory. A great idea of you ask me, as they provide shelter from the elements - the scorching sun in summer and the rain or snow in winter. If you stand under the oldest portico in Bologna you can find a hidden secret - the story of the three arrows.

Two of the arrows can be seen in the photo below, can you find them? Took a lot of searching and a sore neck to spot them from the ground!

Book Release: Norwich in 100 Dates

Kindra stands holding her new book 'Norwich in 100 Dates' on the way to meet the EDP.
<------ This was me earlier today on the way to an interview with the EDP about my new book. 

Experience 100 key dates that shaped Norwich's history, highlighted its people's genius (or silliness) and embraced the unexpected. Featuring an amazing mix of pivotal, social, criminal and sporting events, this book reveals a past that will fascinate, delight and even shock residents and visitors alike.

I really enjoyed writing this book and am honoured that The History Press took a chance on me. It was a great way to delve into the history of this fine city and I thoroughly enjoyed it. At times it was tough, especially when I couldn't find a particular date, or the fact I was excited about turned out to be no more than fiction, but I am glad I did it.

The launch for the book is being held at Jarrold's department store in Norwich on Thursday 24th November at 6.30pm.
