Last week I invited you to accompany me along Breydon Water and across Breydon Marshes. This week, the same route but reversed. And how different it is.
Dog roses, fragile in the early morning shade: 2nd June 2020
1737, someone’s farmhouse, now used as a barn: 2nd June 2020
Corn marigolds, poppies, field pansies, bugloss, and more, prove this is an organic farm: 2nd June 2020
Foxgloves, foxgloves, they were everywhere: 2nd June 2020
The Norfolk flag (aka yellow iris), ditches like this help to drain the marshes: 2nd June 2020
And here’s what our marshes look like this time of year, spangled with buttercups: 2nd June 2020
Drainage ditches, too wide for jumping! I’ve spotted some rare marshland plants hiding in these: 2nd June 2020
A long shot of the horses; they were keeping a distance (that’s the skyline of Gt Yarmouth in the background): 2nd June 2020
And here’s one of the farm-tracks. All private roads, but open to considerate walkers: 2nd June 2020
Breydon Water when the tide’s not so high. Mud. (There were birds but over the far side.) 2nd June 2020.
That’s all for now, folks. Hope you enjoyed.

My pleasure. Of course, you didn’t suffer the heat once we left the trees. But I’ve got matching arms now. Both burned. 🙂

The brickwork on that barn is stunning! An expensive job in its day I’m sure.

Me? I’m fine. How’s you? Staying away from the virus? Not always possible, is it.
As you might guess from the photos, I live in such an isolated place, it’s not too bad. But let’s not talk it up

Is the lockdown lifted? I’m quite good, but online classes are a bit exhausting. Your locality is so beautiful but unfortunately, our place is a bit populated ):

The lockdown is relaxed some, but still in place. If I had a car I’d be able to get out of town more easily. But I don’t. And publis transport is still for essential travel only. Taking photos of flowers doesn’t count

I have to agree, so did I. The tide was low, which meant Breydon was a muddy mess. And the horses hid. But the flowers were beautiful

What a lovely walk. Interesting brickwork on that old farmhouse. Can you tell if there used to be some type of eaves or decoration around the top edges where it’s now whitened?

Impossible to tell. Though almost certainly it would have been thatched
