David, a beach south of Lowestoft? Perhaps Kessingland, or thereabouts. :)

What a difference 7 years make. Kessingland beach in February 2018…

No it was the beach behind Pleasurewood Hills, so between Lowestoft and Corton. We were staying at Warners, Gunton Hall.

Not sure if I posted these, but September 2023 we went to the lake district, and in temperatures in the 30s, my son spent the day on Helvellyn. He even had a swim in Red Tarn on the way down. So a couple of his photos

A sunny morning for the tufted ducks. A couple of dozen on the pond. I managed to capture six in the pic…

A pleasant ten minutes or so watching them dive, but still remaining visible a few feet down in the clear water.

Fabulous Easter Sunday walk. Combining two favourite loops over 8km. Perfect weather and big Norfolk skies. Never more than 1.7km from home at any point. So lucky to have this.

My usual walking buddies are away for Easter, so I didn’t go to the pub.

^^^^ Nice one Steve.

I did a similar, albeit shorter, walk from home a couple of days ago, going around some fields and through woods.

The main thing I noticed was how dry and hard the ground currently is. We need some rain.

@Bahnstormer_vRS

Very much so, Guy. I’m reminded of a wonderful old school groundsman, the only person I’ve ever met who could make “rain” into a three-syllable word: “We need a bit o’ RAA-AA-EEN!” :lol:

Wonderful pictures in a lovely rural setting Steve, but I am curious as to the yellow flowering fields. Looks like canola to me. Many months ahead of us, as our canola is usually planted in mid May and harvested in September. Looks like that must have been seeded last fall.
Time and money? I’ve spent most of mine on booze and women. The rest I just wasted…

^^^^ Spot on, Dwight. Canola it is.

Quite a widespread crop, certainly in SE England and East Anglia. A good yield / income and tends to be used in rotation with cereal crops (usually barley or wheat).

We've had a pretty dry and fine spell of weather for the last month or so and, having been planted in the late autumn, it has sprung into life in recent weeks.

Hopefully, Steve won't mind me answering. :wink: :wink:

@watchaholic
Guy is correct, Dwight. There’s a lot of it around here. The scent can be quite heady; some people hate it but I don’t mind it.

Not so much walkers, more relaxing at the hotellers. (Yarmouth, Isle of Wight)

Tough descent from Kirme to Ölüdeniz, reversing the classic first stage of the Lycian Way in Türkiye. Sharp and steep over fragmented rock and a fair bit of mud after two days of rain, but the views were spectacular!

Just a short walk from home this morning, it’s a nice day out so I’d better ensure I stay “adequately hydrated” when I venture into town later.
