7th April 2025, and again my knee is screaming at me so we decide to keep to a local walk: the path alongside Breydon Water, then a cut across the marsh to Burgh Castle where I treat us to a pub lunch (always makes a walk worthwhile!) Please come with us (but you’ll need to provide your own lunch). Enjoy

🔼 Breydon Bridge carries the town’s bypass. But this early in the morning it’s not very busy 🔽 Cobholm Common nestles between water and bypass, this morning turned white with blackthorn blossoms

🔼 The Common gives way to the grazing marsh which in the morning mist seems to stretch forever. Illusions 🔽 & ⏬ I love the silvery reeds, how they contrast with the blue sky reflected in the water

🔼 We’re leaving the grazing marsh now, following the (private) marsh road which, eventually, takes us to the village of Burgh Castle 🔽

Hope you enjoyed this peaceful walk away from all the hustle and bustle of towns, cities and roads. Don’t forget the Tuesday Treats!

Oooo That private road looks like such a great place for a walk. I hope your knee is behaving by now.

Thank you, but no, not really. Wednesday was a day of steep, though thankfully not high, hills. Going up I can handle. It’s the repeated jarring of coming down. So again I’m more limping than walking. However, tomorrow I shall be limping out with my camera. There will be hills. I shall try to avoid!

Don’t push yourself so far you have to stay in and recover!

It’s so flat around here that I got all excited at the prospect of hills. Especially since I grew up around these hills. But they’re not high hills. Just steep

Blue, green, and orange! 🤔 I was a tad concerned about overdoing the photos of reeds. But grass, water and reeds is the true nature of that walk

The knee was coming along nicely. Until last week’s walk. Hills. Going up, fine. Coming down? Disasters. And I’m repeating the experience again today. Idiot that I am. The things we do to feed our cameras!

So happy to hear— oh. Dang.
We do, at times, dismiss what the body is screaming at us to pay attention to…

Another hilly walk was accomplished, and this time, the knee held up fairly well. It whimpered rather than screamed

Well, I’m always surprised to find people talking about places I know, especially when I put them in my books! George escapes from the pirates when they moor in Breydon Water to escape the storm (I wonder who navigated them into that sanctuary?) in Princelings and the Pirates (book 2), and we visit the mill and pub in book 9 ( I think, as Fred takes Dylan there on a visit to meet the ‘ex-pirates’. )
I’m looking forward to picking up your prompts for my flash fiction from next month. Been too busy with the A2Z challenge this.

That’s brilliant! Are you familiar with Norfolk?

I lived between Norwich and Fakenham for 12 years – left just before lockdown (literally). The Princelings of the East locations were inspired by the Broads (and other places further afield) Castle Marsh is sort of set between Hickling and the coast at Winterton. But with fewer people. 🙂
