16th April 2026 begins beneath clouds, but those clouds soon move away. Time to put on the hikers, check batteries and water, and hop on a bus. We’re not going far, just to the next town. You’re welcome to join us…

Our path begins on the outskirts of Acle and heads out to the small village of Burlingham, and everywhere – EVERYWHERE – is green 🔼 except where it’s yellow with the canola crop 🔽 and white with blossoms

🔽 GREEN!

There are very few houses along the way 🔽 except here, where it looks like the garden gate isn’t often used

🔽 Have I said before that most farmers around here hold to the old, organic ways? Free range, field bred chickens and pigs (Mum’s just out of shot)

Into the woods 🔼 where bluebells and celandines greet us 🔽 and the sun, now it’s rid of those clouds, paint the bramble-briars in muted gold

🔼 We’ve seen this little pond stretching wide and filling this basin. It’s a sump, collecting water from the claggy fields to south of these woods 🔽 When first erected these posts were brightly decorated, the work of the various children’s groups in the area; the ‘installation’ named the Burlingham henge. And a worthy tree it is, to celebrate

🔼 Ah, sun. Beech trees turn magical when the sun’s upon them 🔽 But the sun seldom lasts for long. Time to find a seat, rest awhile, then turn around and go home.

Hope you enjoyed our very green walk!
For the flowers, of which there were plenty, see Tuesdays Treats on 28th April

How gorgeous! And the piglets are especially cute too! We are at I would say 40% thaw- but it is supposed to hit the 50’s this week so I think our green is not far off.
