Sunday 11th September dawned thick with mist ā which made for an enchanting walk in the woods (see last week). But our destination was Lound Lakes, a nature reserve on the Norfolk/Suffolk border.
So… out of the woods and onto the road, threading through arable farmland

Till we come to the field with the cattle

Don’t worry, we’re safe on this path. Those pine trees ahead are part of the reserve

And into another woodland. Mostly *planted* pine, but native silver birch form an elderly understorey
11th Sept 2022
And oak…

We cross a road and pick up a second path…

Which delivers us to an accessible part of the lake

This being a Sunday the place is alive with families which, alas, scares the wildlife away!

But those silver birches sure are photogenic

The sun now is strong, blasting us as we cross this meadow
11th Sept 2022
Ah, blessed relief, back into the woods! But see that gate? We won’t be here long

And up over a hill and down again to catch our bus home

It’s been a beautiful Sunday walk. Hope you’ve enjoyed it.

What a wonderful walk. I could feel the cool of the woods and the heat of the open fields.

That’s exactly as it was. No more heat for us now, though. Now we’re having to dodge the rain

We have had a ridiculous amount of rain. But I am not displeased with the cooler temps š

I appreciate it being cooler. And we had 2 days when it didn’t stop raining at all. And a couple of days when the rain fell from the sky like coal into a cellar!

I do, too. As did we. Thunder and lightening and rain coming down so bloody hard.

We’ve not had much thunder…they’ve had it inland but it hasn’t reached us

There were a few rumbles that went on and on for over thirty seconds. Rather impressive.
