Sunday Picture Post: An Uncommon Common

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.

28th November 2022

The River Tas marks a parish boundary, we cross it and head to Saxlingham Nethergate’s Smockmill Common

28th November 2022

The common covers a wooded hill which once hosted a smockmill, and a grassy centre which gently descends to the River Tas

28th November 2022

Much of the tree cover is “young” i.e. less than 70 years old. But elderly beech trees form an upper border

28th November 2022

And at this season the beech leaves are copper and gold

The nature of the trees change as we approach the river

28th November 2022

The Tas isn’t a large river, not even downriver where it joins the Yare on the outskirts of Norwich

28th November 2022

Where the common meets the road, great horsetails flourish, the earth here being, at best, boggy

28th November 2022

Hope you enjoy this little stroll around an uncommon common

What are they, you might ask. Roofing tiles, stacked, awaiting use.

Time For An Update

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

CCC216: A Glimpse of Narnia

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.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #216

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:

  • An answering photo
  • A cartoon
  • A joke
  • A caption
  • An anecdote
  • A short story (flash fiction)
  • A poem
  • A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
  • An essay
  • A song—the lyrics or the performance

You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:

  • Your creative offering is indeed yours
  • Your writing is kept to 150 words or less

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
