The Whitlingham Walk, 9th January 2024, part two, please, join us
Our intention of circuiting the lake is hampered by impassable paths due to flooding…

And so we cut away…

A moment to admire the tall-grown alder trees, all hung with crimson catkins and brown cones…

A short walk alongside the river Yare…

And into the woods, to walk back whence we came…

It’s great being out of the wind. But this is a former gravel quarry and there are some steep hills…

But the trees don’t mind. They’ll grow anywhere!

And it’s back into Norwich to catch the bus home, and my eye is caught by this!

Hope you enjoyed this rather windy walk. Next week we have bitter cold, but we don’t give up! Thermals on and head into Norfolk’s cosy countryside. See you then.

Thank you, Chel. Though I’m finding subjects for the camera this winter, I shall be glad when spring arrives. I’m missing the flowers! 🙂

There is something about the blue of a winter sky, isn’t there? Lovely photos. Love that “face” at the end!

I was undecided whether to include that. But I totally loved it. And yea, winter-blue sky, numb nose, fingers and toes 🙂

I’m glad you did, too! I love that the blues of the sky change with the seasons. And yeah, this morning, I am working from home before going to pick up one of our guides and bring her to the airport for a “Meet and Greet”. I could have bundled up and taken a walk and for once, capture the sunrise (as much as I can actually get from here, which is piddly) but man, it was cold. I just didn’t feel like it. It’s -15℃, and while that doesn’t usually bother me, I just wasn’t feeling it 😉

-15! And my fingers grew rapidly numb in -7!

Oh, one must bundle up, that is for sure. No sissy gloves for me. Big fat ski mitts!

Mmm. Well, I do wear thermal t-shirt and leggings, but that’s my lot.
