A Woodland Walk
As Marriots Way leaves the Norfolk village of Attlebridge on its remaining ten miles that culminate at the walls of Norwich, it passes through a pine plantation to one side and a chestnut woods to the other. It’s kick-up leaves … Continue reading
Trevor the Tractor’s Great Day Out
Tuesday-last being a bright and blistering hot day I went to the seaside. Yea, I know, I live on the coast but up a piece and around the corner there’s Cromer. What I like most about Cromer are the tractors. … Continue reading
It’s Spring
I’m not sure whether to enter this as ‘It’s Spring’, or ‘Close-Up’: my offering for this week’s #2018picoftheweek Challenge. There are several species of willow in the Uk with the alias of Pussy Willow, but only two grow in East … Continue reading
