A chunk of cheese, a couple of eggs and a slice of cold beef, but that wouldn’t stretch to feed my friend who unexpectedly arrived.
A trip to the shop to buy two smoked haddock fillets, new potatoes, and asparagus. The perfect impromptu meal, ready in twenty minutes.

This is Breydon Water, confluence of Rivers Yare and Waveney which with the addition of River Bure flows into the sea at Great Yarmouth. When the tide is out, and here you see the tide is out, extensive mudflats lie to either side of a navigable channel. I must have a trillion photos of this place, for it truly is my happy place, but I chose this one taken not long after sunrise with the mist still veiling the distance.
My Happy Place, another title from the list Maria Antonia has given us for #2022picoftheweek
We used to Mend and Make Do
Then after the war a new generation arose
More energy than money
They Did It Up and made it like new
They were all arty
And crafty
That generation put on some years
And where before they’d done up
Now they tastefully Converted
Generations come in waves
The next swept in
The nouvelle crowd with their nouvelle cuisine
Maintaining style with eyes that were keen
These enterprising builders Renovated
Now today’s generation talk of the New This and the New That
Like black’s the new white and white’s the new black
And they look at this barn and inspiration rushes
Cleary this building has to be Repurposed
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)

That’s all for this week, folks. Hope you enjoyed
11th April, we catch the bus into Norwich, and out to Swardeston, a Norfolk village with two commons, an upper (dry) common and a lower (wet) common. It also has a delightful walk through the Tas Valley. We continue the walk along to Intwood. The walk’s not too soggy, no need for wellies. Please come along with me
The Upper Common where cricket is played
11th April 2022
The village pond… cos all villages must have one
11th April 2022
The Lower Common, beloved of dogwalkers
11th April 2022
Then across the road… oops, watch out for tractors
11th April 2022
And into the meadows… we walk the dry path, at the top and leave cattle and heron to wade through the mud

One of my favourite trees is here…isn’t she fantastic!
11th April 2022
And into the woods… well, more of a thorny copse
11th April 2022
Across the tiny bridge over the tiny fairies’ pond…
11th April 2022
And across the fields…
11th April 2022
Thereafter by road to Intwood just in time to sit in the churchyard and enjoy our packed lunch
11th April 2022
Now heading back to Swardeston to catch the bus home we cross the tiny River Tas
11th April 2022
And a last look back…

That’s all folks for another week. Hope you enjoyed the walk. With the bluebells now out, we could be in for proper treat next week!

Since moving last summer, I have spent so much time around the banks of Breydon Water. But it was such a pleasant evening, the sun tempted me out. So glad I responded.

He was coming at her with great long strides. And she bemused, not understanding, stood stick still, her luminous exudation twitching and tiny-gust-swirling when she should’ve been in his head.

He was a tutor at the art college when work began on the new bridge. Every weekend and many evenings he’d be there, sketching, recording the progress. But the art college closed, and he moved away, so he hasn’t seen it as it is today. So I give him this photo and imagine he’s the person driving that car.
In memory… he was my tutor
