Photos from our walk on 28th November 2022
That’s all for now, folks. Hope you enjoyed!
I still have the photos taken on two walks in December 2022. Thereafter…I wonder what I’ll find in the coming year.

Fifty-two photos submitted on Saturdays from the list of titles Maria Antonia has given us for #2022picoftheweek, how do I choose just 12, one per month? It wasn’t easy. For the full 52 pics See Here
To all my readers, past, present & future, I’d like to say a big BIG THANK YOU.
I send love & good cheer to you and yours at this turning of the year

28th November, a densely misty morning, we bus into Norwich and out again, to Newton Flotman on the old Roman Road to London. But this isn’t our destination.
The River Tas marks a parish boundary, we cross it and head to Saxlingham Nethergate’s Smockmill Common
The common covers a wooded hill which once hosted a smockmill, and a grassy centre which gently descends to the River Tas
Much of the tree cover is “young” i.e. less than 70 years old. But elderly beech trees form an upper border
And at this season the beech leaves are copper and gold
The nature of the trees change as we approach the river
The Tas isn’t a large river, not even downriver where it joins the Yare on the outskirts of Norwich
Where the common meets the road, great horsetails flourish, the earth here being, at best, boggy
Hope you enjoy this little stroll around an uncommon common
What are they, you might ask. Roofing tiles, stacked, awaiting use.
On Repeat, another title from the list Maria Antonia has given us for #2022picoftheweek
And with this last photo of the year I have completed one line. So, Photo Bingo!
At this turning of the year, I take the opportunity to update you on where I am with my writing.
Five books of The Spinner’s Game published 2020
Learning to Fly published 2021
Roots of Rookeri published 2022
And now I’m prepping another three books:
The Alsaldic Lands Trilogy
Except for Roots of Rookeri, all based on the same tenet
60 words written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt: Tenet
Is it too cheeky of me to use Sammi’s word prompt for this? Love you, Sammi. Happy New Year

Photos of fungi found on our walk of 28th November…a misty morning with little light from the sun
That’s not all but I’m saving the rest for the first few Fridays in January and February
We’d known about Narnia – and who did not?
But that magical land was accessed via a stately wardrobe thick with fur coats. And who had anything so grand in these days of fake furs and Ikea.
We weren’t expecting to find another portal, our eyes not keened to the clues as we walked that path.
Yet just as that path crossed from one parish to the next…a quick glance to our left…and there it was. The magical land of Narnia.
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN
21st November 2022 we walk the rural lanes, and yes, we find colour. Sharing with you…
And to wish you Happy Christmas…mistletoe
That’s all for now. More next week!!!
