Good morning, Norfolk! β˜€οΈ Happy Saturday from all of us at Stripes Express!

🌀️ Weather for Hickling and the Broads: a bright start with sunny intervals, then cloud and a few light showers between about 1pm and 3pm. It brightens again from 4pm for a clear, dry evening. High of 15Β°C, dropping to 6Β°C overnight. A fresh westerly breeze of 15–20 mph, gusting to around 34 mph, so hold on to your hats! πŸ’¨

πŸ’› Good news: a new home for women moving on from homelessness in King's Lynn has been transformed. Hughes Electrical donated a cooker, fridge, washing machine and more, and Norfolk content creator Hayley Rubery led the renovation.

Interesting goings on at Norwich Airport this morning. Apparently there's some fog there, so the two Ryanair flights due in this morning have been diverted one to Manchester and one to Stansted, and a KLM flight tried to land around about 0930. He's given up and gone to Stansted. Now one of the earlier Ryanair flights that was diverted to Manchester has come back down towards Norwich and is now circling above the Norfolk broads as it looks as if the fog hasn't cleared. We'll have to keep an eye on that one because we've got some people coming in on the flight from Palma at 12 o'clock. We'll see what happens.οΏΌ
