We're drawn to water; pacing along the riverbanks, following the course of the flow in a peaceful stride. At this time of year the banks are still visible yet are soon to become crowded with reeds and obscure the hub of all the action.
The oil seed rape is now fading noticeably in the fields- though in these shots it's at it's most vibrant.
An interesting church, many rural churches in Norfolk hold a certain curious charm of why they look so unusual.
This particular walk was a new one to us; a circular trail along the Wensum Way I found on the Norfolk council's website. It's some way out of Swanton Morley on the Carrick Estate and the circular route is 3.25 miles long with parking suggested at Hunter's Hall (which is a gorgeous venue) - it felt wrong to be parking somewhere I wasn't frequenting even though the council suggested it so in order to kill two birds with one stone I popped into the reception to ask where the footpath lay, armed with my printout of directions. The chap I spoke to was most helpful, efficient and didn't seem to mind where I had parked. I was grateful not to shouted at for being a nuisance.
Look at the driveway! What a lovely sight. Would be perfect for wedding photos.
It would have been a pleasure to tell you how our circular walk went swimmingly well but predictably a bovine shaped spanner found it's way into the works. Our walk was more three sides of a square and back.
A little slice of rural peace.
Let's hide out in the wilds a while longer.
