From out of last week’s woodland a path leads us alongside a colourful hay meadow

Ah, which way to go? Consult the map. Diagonally over the field

Claxton church. We sit awhile and watch the butterflies. Will any settle long enough for us to take photos?

Onwards, and nearing our destination. With the sun now blazing it’s unexpectedly hot, we’re glad to find the dappled shade of this little lane

Another narrow footpath, this one edged with cow parsley and alkanet

And here we are at Ashby St Mary’s church. Another excuse to sit and rest before we climb back up to the main road into Norwich to catch our bus home

There are several churches in the area with those wonderful sunrays’
arches. Maybe one day I visit them all

I couldn’t even fathom trying to visit all the churches just in Montreal. I just googled and apparently, we have about 650 of them! (About 200 of them are Catholic – which has surprised me because I thought for sure at least half would be!)

Beautiful meadow, and that looks like an interesting old church.

It’s my first visit to that church. Thatched roof! But it wasn’t open. Tends to be only the round tower churches that are open to passing visitors

I assumed that was the church you meant. On the other hand, the other one sporting the sunrise doorway is a real gem!
