27th March 2024, forecast is potential showers but we’re getting used to that now. Two buses take us to our destination, the village of Swardeston, south of Norwich. Please join us…

The lower common, grazed short by rabbits, is frothy with thorn-flowers. While the water meadows aren’t yet host to their usual cows

It was great to see the sun after some of the grey rainy days we’ve had. Though we did get a shower, it was brief and very light 🙂

A lovely walk through nature, Crispina. The trees look like they’re ready to sporut nice green leaves for a future summer breeze. 😀

So green and lush! Beautiful pictures. That darkening sky looked particularly dangerous… and all for naught in the end 🙂

Thoroughly washed, rinsed, and soaked by the recent rains! This year winter has made our countryside gleam like brand-new!
