Fungi season’s begun. So it’s off to Mousehold Heath for us. A bus to Norwich. A walk through the cathedral close
Norwich cathedral, south face: 6 Oct 2020
Then up the hill. Not high, but sufficiently steep. It’s where Robert Kett and his rebels set camp. (See Kett’s Rebellion)
Oaks trees on Mousehold Heath: 6 Oct 2020
Heather thrives on the heath: 6 Oct 2020
For centuries the heath was given over to sheep. Now, though much reduced in area, it provides the people of Norwich with a wonderful woodland interspersed with heathland
Hills, dells and dales: 6 Oct 2020
Parts of the heath were quarried for sand and gravel. Now reclaimed by Nature they tax the legs!
Bracken and pine: 6 Oct 2020
A woodland walk: 6 Oct 2020

The unexpected: 6 Oct 2020
A wall that begins nowhere and ends nowhere. It’s a mystery to me
Magnificient trees: 6 Oct 2020
Out of the woods, returning to Norwich to catch the bus.
Quayside & River Wensum: 6 Oct 2020
Renovated riverside houses: 6 Oct 2020
But I remember them as rundown, ramshackle struggling one-man businesses
And a last look at the cathedral. As you can see, we’d been caught in the rain

Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Oh, what’s that? What about the fungi we found? I’m saving that for Tuesday.
