The weather slightly improved today – at least it was dry – and we took a walk around Rowney Woods. One thing all the rain we have been having has done is encourage a huge burst of growth in all the plant life. It was only a few weeks ago
We took a walk around Arkesden this afternoon – apparently Jamie Oliver lives in this area. As you could guarantee this week it absolutely chucked it down on us for a good 30 minutes, but it was still an enjoyable walk.
The rain abated for long enough today for us to pop out to Castle Hedingham – a Norman castle over near Braintree and Halstead. Built around 1140 you certainly get a feeling of history walking around it. One advantage of the terrible weather is that we pretty much had the
