Costessey: 24 August 2020
It wasn’t that the walk that morning had been long and arduous. It wasn’t that we melted beneath a fierce summer sun. But we had been out since 7:00 am (to catch the bus into Norwich) and walking since 7:40. Now bellies were rumbling… and that charming woodland I know from experience is alive with biting bloodsucking insects. Not a place to sit on the ground.
And so we were thankful for this seat.
Thankful, another title achieved in Maria’s Antonia’s #2020picoftheweek

Perfect! Now, after the much-deserved rest, which path did you take?

Biting bugs… not fun. Did you inspect the bench for chiggers? Or are there chiggers in the UK?

I don’t know what chiggers are, so I assume we don’t have them

Little red bugs that live in wood (like those seats) and burrow in your skin to cause pretty bad rashes and sores.

Wonderful! How serendipitous to come upon this bench just as you needed it. Excellent take for Thankful.

tbh, I knew it was there. I’ve sat here before on our walks.
