This week’s episode is filled with sunshine, the scent of resin, and the soporific call of pigeon and dove as we explore a little further afield. A visit to Dad on the north Norfolk coast means a change in landscape. Find out why, even though I love walking, I am often very reluctant to talk about it with other walkers!
Journal entry:
14th March, Monday
"Fog.
Penny and I walk through a soft chilled landscape.
The canal is dark and glassy.
A small patch of mist boils and parts
As Cyril emerges, stately and silent.
He eyes me as he glides slowly passed
Breasting the Arthurian waters."
