I remember these at school – great for hurling at people 😉 These were seen in West Wood near Thaxted

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!
Back to Leaden Roding and this tree lined path caught my eye. It was pretty dark by the time I’d taken this 😉
