On Monday, having lived in this old building for 16 years, I now must leave. A moving experience indeed for if anything could go wrong with a move, it did. I got the distinct impression the move was cursed.

Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
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
All photos taken 23rd May 2021 around Breydon Water and Grazing Marshes
June 11th, with the temperature rising, we decide to take a bus to the North Norfolk Coast. Cos there it’ll be cooler. Right? Mmm. When we arrive the tide is high. So we walk the prom and take in the sights.
That’s all for now, folks. Hope you enjoyed our day out!
Sports, another title achieved from the list provided for #2021picoftheweek provided by Maria Antonia
Cricket has been played here, on Swardeston Common, since a time immemorial. Alas, it was the wrong day to catch them in play.
Phew. a treasured chance to sit and rest, though I’ve had to get up at 4:00 am to do so. Moving home is such a chaotic time, the worst part reconnecting phone and broadband.
I’m sorry folks but I’m not going to be on WordPress again until after 6th July. I have scheduled photo posts to last till next week’s CCC. Thereafter…
Please excuse if I don’t visit your posts. In those rare and quiet moments, I shall try to contact by phone, but with so many of you I cannot hope to reach you all.
In the meantime, I take this chance to wish you all well and promise you I shall be back… sometime in July.

Photos of flowers taken on our walk from East Carlton to Swardeston via Intwood 1st June 2021
Grasses are flowers too. Not sure if this is foxtail or timothy
Horse chestnut (conker tree)…
Leopardbane, a naturalised garden escapee…
Cranesbill, one of the many varieties…
Here’s another you might not think of as a flower. Plantain
And another naturalised escapee, Russian Comfrey…
These tiny sapphires are speedwell…
Purple cranesbill…
(Wild) Star of Bethlehem, the flowers and stems much smaller than the garden variety
And that’s all for now. Hope you enjoyed
We left our walk at Catbridge Lane, heading to East Carlton and Intwood. To resume (all photos 1st June 2021)
Across the paddock, beyond the thicket and gardens and common, is Mulbarton church. But we’re not heading that way.
Foxtail grasses (or maybe timothy) edges a paddock… edges a paddock, as do we
The footpath delivers us onto another tree-shaded lane… to East Carlton
One of two gatehouses we pass, guardians of East Carlton Manor
This shady lane leads down to the river (which here is barely a stream). But that’s not where we’re going
Last time I came here there was only a stile. Now there’s a kissing gate (and the stile remains)
Truly, all the way from East Carlton to Intwood the lane was wonderfully shaded with vistas of sheep meadows beyond
Finally out of the trees… and we’re greeted by a cooling breeze. Close to lunchtime now, thinking of where we shall stop
The distinctive mail van adds just the right note to this picture of a canola field and verges lined with hedge parsley
Ah! Intwood church… where we’ve reserved a seat beneath a cherry tree to eat our lunch
The Lady of Intwood. Who is she? I’ve featured this before (Sept 2018) and at that time I researched her identity. Mystery Lady
Buttercup meadow alongside the lane back to Swardeston to catch the bus home
Hope you’ve enjoyed our walk and enjoyed the views of this fresh green land

For anyone interested, this is Intwood Hall, just outside Norwich, a bit of Victorian Gothic Revival
