Today, on a cold bright morning, we walked through the village to a nature reserve known as Pauline's  Swamp.

Afternoon walk - NOT amateur radio

 Later, we hope to go on a walk in the village. It is an area called "Paulines' Swamp". It is a nature reserve created some years ago in memory of the wife of a well known village person.

The YouTube video is a view of our village, taken with a drone.  Pauline's Swamp is just visible after 2 mins 10 secs at the very top. If you did not know, you would not know!  Our house also on near the windmill.

The museum is run by volunteers and is on of the best local museums in the UK.
