8th May 2024, the weather promises fair, so we hop a bus into Norwich, and a second bus out, and we get off at Hellington Corner. Hellington itself is down in the valley.
I confess to bit of a passion for the church at Hellington
This unkempt look merely adds to its charm
Several churches in this all-but forgotten triangle of SE Norfolk are graced with this sunrise carving above the south door, but this church is no longer used for services. It’s kept open for interested persons to visit
The signpost offers a choice. We will end up at Ashby St Mary, but we’re not taking the direct route…
Green lanes, private roads and farm tracks, over fields and through woodlands… makes a much more interesting walk
When we emerge we’re stunned by the wide vista over the Yare Valley, we take a deep breath. We’re half way there. Join us next Sunday when we complete the walk
Hope you enjoyed. See Tuesday Treats for Wayside Flowers
Such nice and green vistas.

Spring! Come summer that green can be a bit heavy. Then we look for autumn colours to relieve it 🙂

I confess, May hasn’t been kind to us. It seems every time we schedule a walk, it rains! And then I had flu. And now I have a painful back. But we endure and we celebrate the good walks. This was a good walk!!!!

It’s been all over the map for us, as well. Mind you, last weekend was beautiful and this coming one is supposed to be as well. But in between? Thunder storms and such!

Hit send too quickly. So sorry you have a painful neck. That is no fun..

An atmospheric church. The walk looks like it had lots of winding, secretive paths, which I love.

Hellington we’ve done before but on the way deeper into the valley, but this time we veered off onto a new (to us) route. And it was delightful. Really enjoyed it
