After so many weeks of rain, and winds, and polar temperatures, it really does feel like summer. But as the day passes, so the heat grows. And some places are hotter than others. Please join us as we coastal dwellers sweat as we slog inland 😂
The village of Howe is tiny. But it has a church so it’s not a hamlet
Like walking into a time warp, so many thatched cottages
By now we’re looking for a place to sit, to rest and tuck into our lunch. We see a bench on the common. Ah, relief!
So many buttercups. But so few butterflies. It’s not been a good year for them, the cold, the rain… we hope they’ll recover
And we’re off again. Now it’s all road walking, and the road reflects the heat. Thankfully, there are trees!
Roses and honeysuckle clamber around the oaks
Walking from shadow to shadow, holding our arms out to catch the breeze
The line of trees mark the line of the lane… which now climbs to the second highest place in Norfolk: Poringland
And someone’s garden wall serves as a seat on our way to the bus stop. Phew, it has got out hot!












That looks like such a hot walk!

I have problems with heat. But on this occasion even my daughter was suffering. It wasn’t ambient heat, it was radiated from the road with the sun directly overhead
