On the Rising Banks of Wensum Valley
Norfolk is notoriously flat. But we do have rivers and some, especially those rising in the centre of the county, do have noticeable valleys. The Wensum is one such river. Run For The Hills, one of the titles from Maria … Continue reading
Sunday Picture Post: A Frosty Walk cont.
We continue our frosty walk on 14th December. We began at Thorpe Marriot with a woodland and a frozen pond, and we walked along Marriott’s Way, beside the River Wensum, to Costessey…where there’s more woodland and more frozen ponds. Enjoy … Continue reading
Sunday Picture Post: Wending Along the Wensum
In case you’ve missed the news, we here in England have had a heatwave. I know it’s not been a patch on temperatures elsewhere, but we’re Brits and we’re not used to it. Worse, some people (me) have medical reasons … Continue reading

All That Sparkles
The photo was taken looking down from a bridge over the River Wensum, on the outskirts of Norwich, with a faster shutter speed than I’d usually use (the bridge parapet served as tripod), and I managed to capture the sparkles. … Continue reading
