14th June 2025, Met Office forecasts temps of 23C. That’s my cut-off for walking (doctor’s orders) though with a good blustery breeze I should be fine. Even so, we decide to keep it local. With less time on buses, we can make an early start. We hop a bus just to the outskirts of town. Please do join us. Remember to bring plenty of water

Remember that beautiful bluebell woods? This is it, and this morning it is wonderfully cool 🔼🔽

We’ve had heavy rain overnight. Now the sun is calling it up to form a mist… and sticky humidity 🔼🔽

To me, this is the enchantment of early summer: Acreage of barley ripening 🔼🔽and arching loops of wild pink roses

We’re heading to Lound but not by our usual cross-country route; not after all that rain 🔼🔽 The lanes provide us with new views

A part of Lound Lakes we seldom see. Beautiful with that hazy mist 🔼🔽 and a sweeping lane lined with rhododendrons, although the colour doesn’t show very well

Determined to capture this view of the old mill, with a meadow white with ox-eye daisies, but it did strain the ability of my zoom 🔼

On the outskirts of Lound and the temps have soared way beyond that forecast 23C. Together with the drenching humidity, it’s not easy walking. But these two sights encourage us to keep on clicking 🔼🔽

I do like the pond with what looks like it may be poppies in the foreground?

Strictly speaking it’s a Norfolk Broad, but it’s in Suffolk. This is just the end of it, it spreads for quite a distance. And yes, they are poppies

I’m always attracted to garden doors, and here we found two along the same stretch of lane

Sorry the weather turned so hot. We’re already at 34 C today. Very happy E.J. got a heat pump last year, giving us central air conditioning.

It’s a long-standing health defect, not age-related. I remember the heat waves we had in the 1970s, I longed to be a hippo and wallow in the river all day long! I spent a lot of time just idling in a tepid bath
