Thursday 13th January the bus takes us to Acle. We arrive with the sun

And head down the path to Upton (the sun follows us as we pick our way around the muddy puddles)

Every time I do this walk, I take a photo (at least one) of Fishley church. This morning it’s especially enchanting, softened by the mist
13th January 2022
And caught in the golden rays of the early sun

The path takes us over fields…

As we near the water, this mist lies thicker

The overnight rain shatters the sun’s rays and this becomes a magical place

In the distance, a windmill, once used to regulating water flow

Upton Boat Dyke… everywhere else in England a dyke = a bank. In Norfolk it’s a ditch dug out to connect village and the river

Leaving the village…

And the other kind of mill, once used for grinding grain

That’s all for today, but that’s not where the walk ends. I’m leaving the second part for next week. Hope you enjoyed

This was absolutely delightful. And I love the “down the path to Upton” 🙂

But it is down. Norfolk’s never hilly, but our valleys can cut deep. I think the original village must have been further up the hill!
