🔼 A Roman wall, doubtless made with local hands, and certainly with local flint. But as for the mortar, Roman mortar was amazingly resilient to the effects of weathering 🔽 Berney Arms windmill, built in 1865 to grind chalk quarried from Whitlingham to make cement. It was converted to a drainage mill in 1883

🔼 One everyone knows, the wild rose, aka dog rose 🔽 but here’s one you might not know, broomrape, a parasitic plant; lacking chlorophyll it attaches to a host plant

Before we hit Breydon Wall 🔽 A Little Egret fishes along the banks of the Waveney

Great pictures. I lke the Roman wall and light house best. The bird is cool too.

Thank you. Though that might look like a light house but it’s a windmill… you know, as in Old Amsterdam, with mice with clogs on 🎵🎵

It was fantastic. We’re used to seeing the horses grazing, but we’ve never seen them moving to a fresh pasture. Great. The heavy sounds of horses on the run

Thank you, Dale. It’s long years of learning. And when I don’t know (whatever it might be) I look it up. Ma taught me to do that, and provided ample books for me.

And that’s a wonderful thing. I look up stuff, too… But often forget not long after!

If I’ve written it down, I’ll remember it. I have notebooks galore full of notes made while researching for the books I’ve written (published and unpublished)

It has to be with our favoured learning mode. Visual, audio, kinetic ie. seeing, hearing, doing. Writing is kinetic but also seeing

Indeed. It’s how I used to study (when I actually did). I simply rewrote my notes in a new book.

It works! Mine was to read, hopefully digest and understand, then write it out in my own words. I might argue with myself along the way, or find a different way to apply it

It’s great when you find a study method that works.

I’d never heard of parasitic plants before and that’s very cool. And the poppies are beautiful and… I’m feeling tired. I have to rest for just a minute.
