Quiet village lane - NOT amateur radio

 

This is a quiet lane in our village. With blossom and daffodils there are plenty of signs of spring.

Yesterday we did a walk around our village. It was much colder with some showers. In between, the sun appeared.

Yesterday afternoon the sun shone ( a nice change!), so we did a walk around the village and some shopping. 

This collage shows some of the views.

Chocolate box village

Dalham is a real "chocolate box" village not too far from here. It has lots of very attractive thatched cottages which would be ideal on the cover of a box of chocolates. You can imagine that a century ago these were hovels for working folk with no sewers or running water, and probably without a bathroom. These days these are pads for the well heeled with big prices. It is probably the most attractive village in the area.

There are still some delightful spots in our village as shown in the photo. 

The village has grown a lot since we came in 1975, but it still feels like a village.

Yesterday, we dodged the showers and did a walk around part of our village. My wife made this collage. It is now much colder with a biting east wind.

This morning, we did a short walk around part of our village. I saw my first little egret in our village (these were rare in the UK before the 1980s) as well as a buzzard overhead. The weather was dull.
