My heart’s desire
A deep comfy chair and a roaring fire
Deep in the forest where the rare birds nest
There I’d stay, let the weather do its worst till the spring buds burst
Alone in my cottage, my hopes blessed and nursed
Alone, unmoving, fortunes reversed

It was springtime when we first sat here
Summer when our love we first declared
Now autumn, and alas my love has disappeared
Memories I still hold dear.
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)

7th November dawned bright, though cold. Hopped on a bus to Acle from where we’re walking to Burlingham. Unfortunately, I know this route well and I know it gets muddy, deep puddles, impassable fields, and we’ve had a surplus of rain of late. So fingers crossed, put on your hikers, and let’s go…

Wonderful colours greet us at Acle…

And on one of those seats I lean back and take this…
7th November 2023
Now we do the walk in reverse, back to Acle to catch the bus. I swear I’m at least 2 inches taller from the mud on my shoes!
Hope you enjoyed. More photos on Tuesday and fungi on Friday
