The Blog
I can’t play this, much as I would like to be able to. The only person who’s got anything tuneful out of this was, rather randomly, the bloke who came round and sorted out my satellite dish!
We visited West Wood near Thaxted today and saw a number of flowering plants including some early orchids, violets and primroses and this – which we believe (but could be wrong) are Speedwells. A weed, but a pretty weed 😉 Thanks to Buckeye on Flickr who has advised that this
Now, I understand that scarecrows are there to scare, but do they need to be this sinister 😉 He was doing a fine job mind – no birds in sight.
These narrow boats are all lined up down the River Stort Navigation, as we head into Spring and Summer more and more narrow boats are arriving on this stretch in Roydon.
I returned to the scene of my recent soaking today, the weather was substantially better and I was to spend a happy hour marching up and down the Stort Navigation in my lunch hour. This picture is of an arable field patrolled by some headless scarecrows…apparently the Canada Geese aren’t
This windmill was built in 1877, replacing a previous post mill that had stood here since 1609.
It’s been another filthy day today. There was a great hail storm followed by a torrential downpour that flooded all the roads on my way home. By the time I got home though the clouds were just breaking open and we got this sunset over Doctors Pond.
Popped out at lunchtime and got caught in an almighty downpour – soaking!
I was a bit stupid today. I could see, very clearly that there was rain about, but there was also some great dramatic clouds around, so off I trotted at lunchtime down the River Stort Navigation. No coat, no brolly, no brains 😉 This shot is about 20 minutes walk
Back to Leaden Roding and this tree lined path caught my eye. It was pretty dark by the time I’d taken this 😉
