2nd June and the day starts bright. Although it’s a Thursday, thanks to the Queen’s Jubilee, it’s also a bank holiday…which means Sunday bus services. We decide not to go far from home and bus to Hopton, the first village south of Gt Yarmouth and Gorleston.
Hopton Church…

A few 100 yards and a bramble-guarded footpath bring us to a woodland…

Through which a gentle stream trickles…

To drain into a delightful sunlit pool…

Do not tell me that fairies don’t dwell here

And to prove this is a fairy tale woodland, here grows foxgloves…

Out of the woodland and across the fields.

Here’s where the lettuces grow…

We emerge into the village of Lound but hurry on. A greenway takes us to Ashby St Mary… more poppies!
2nd June 2022
From Ashby church (no village in sight) we veer wide to approach Lound from a NW direction, not taken before though we’ve visited the village many times

Before we reach the village-proper, we turn onto another way-marked path…
2nd June 2022
Up, up a path, threaded between fields…
2nd June 2022
We’re on the road back to the buses that’ll take us home
And of course, we stop every few steps to take flower pics… and such (See Tuesday Treats)

Isn’t it annoying when bus schedules slow down on holidays?
There is no way fairies do not dwell in there!
Lovely walk, Crispina.

It was a beautiful walk. Been hitting some good ones recently. But temps heating up, might be times I can’t get out. I have some walks in reserve for that! 😊😊😊

Our temps, after days and DAYS of rain are finally going up this weekend. Typical, actually. I am trying to get my mojo going. I haven’t walked, run or done anything lately.

I’m back to sweating in the garden. Pruning.

I had a tree friend come and scope out my yard to give me an idea on cost to trim and cut and pull out trees…
