20th February dawns bright and sunny. Yay! We set out early, although we’ve not far to go, just to the southern bounds of the county. We’re walking to Lound Lakes. This is Part One: the “going to” part.
We thread our way though a little woodland.
Snowdrops in season, soon to be daffodils, then primroses and bluebells. For now, we’re happy to see through the trees
The woodland delivers us onto a small lane, then a bigger lane…
Where I get carried away taking photos of pylons
To my left…
To my right…
And here we arrive… now in Suffolk
Suffolk is noticeably hillier than Norfolk
We have no native pine trees. Those that now clad our hills were planted by Landed Country Gentlemen… The birch, however, is native
Looking down… the first of the lakes. I’m pretty sure these aren’t natural lakes but are flooded peat diggings, same as the Norfolk Broads
We’ll stop here for a while and take in the view. We’ll continue the walk next week. Meanwhile, don’t miss Tuesday Treats for a few seasonal flowers…
A nice walk. Love the last picture! Itβs so detailed

Thank you. I loved that it was sunny. So many of our walks this year (so far) have been beneath overcast skies

It’s a wonderfully varied walk, and it changes so much in the course of the seasons

Sun! Oh so welcome. I’m walking the cameral tomorrow but forecast is overcast-grey & possibly rain. Boohoo!

Sun is SO welcome at this time of year. Today, ours his hiding behind clouds that are threatening both snow and rain. I’m at the point now that, as long as it’s mild and these piles of snow keep melting, I won’t complain. Much.

I’ve just called off tomorrow’s walk. Forecast heavy rain. That’s no fun. Going Saturday instead.

But what if? Nah… probably a wise choice on your part.

It was. Though it made no difference. Saturday’s weather was almost as bad. But we did get some some. Between the rain!

I tend to eke out a walk to cover 2 weeks when I think I might be struggling
