As predicted, we’ve been unable to walk the cameras this week. But my archive is deep, though somewhat lacking in February photos. Also, I don’t want to use photos from my regular twice or thrice yearly walks. So here’s one I’ve not done since 2017, though it was later in the year. April! Enjoy the sunshine and flowers…

All along the lanes from where we’ve hopped off the bus, and into the riverside village of Surlingham, the fields are yellow with canola. That red brick barn stands out in contrast.

Surlingham did have two churches. The other is now a ruin (see later for the photo)

Riverside around here automatically means a wide fringing of marshland and fen. Drainage channels keeps the land dry-ish, most of the year

The second church. It sits on a rise, overlooking the marsh

Cattle grazing. Those reed-filled drains make that possible and make ideal nesting sites for swans

The boardwalk allows us two footed visitors to access the marsh

Away from the river the land sweeps into a rolling landscape

River Yare, same one that flows into the sea in my hometown

Being within the Broads National Park, this riverside pub flourishes, for the pleasure cruisers supplement the local trade. And (below) with the mention of Norfolk Broads, if you squint you can just make out Rockland Broad in the distance, beyond yet more canola fields

Hope you enjoyed. I hope to have photos of a February 2025 walk next week
More photos from the walk on Tuesday

Now that is a tower a girl can really sink her teeth into (metaphorically of course) I’ll be saving that little gem for inspiration you can bet on that!

I expect it was used as a beacon/marker in its day, visible from the river

And the added convenience of overlooking a cemetery. There is definitely a story in there somewhere…..

Almost all our churches have adjoining graveyards. It’s how we Brits did/do it

I was walking the camera Tuesday and although it was still very cold, the sun was fantastic. Lighting was just right for the photos. As you will see next week
