Maybe “we’re”getting acclimatised ? But this Morning felt so nice…….we just keep on walking. Well: slightly further than normal anyway…..

Up and over a newly found railway bridge at the back of beyond:

Onto a fairly newly discovered path; on the Sea inlet into Oulton Broad:

Found one of Banksy’s works when he came to Lowestoft (This is on the face of a small Bridge in Normanston Park):

Around some of the Broad we walked:

Past some of the Thatched Roof (Made from locally grown Reeds) Boutique Holiday shops on the side of the Broad on the way home……

After a few weeks of 'Round the Block' walks, I met up with my daughter and her Cockerpoo at 07:00 for a damp & mucky walk around Sywell Reservoir ~Wiki ~

It was a bit sleety and damp at first but, once that stopped, it was slightly warmer @ 4°c

Back to the car on 3½ miles then home to put Bonnie in the bath ti de-mud her! Teddy got the same treatment from daughter, too 😂

Short walkies pre-drive into town by MrsPete this morning so empty the dog out.
Once parked, it was easier if I took Bonnie for a few miles along the River Nene while MrsPete did the shopping 🛒

I've been watching this boat getting lower & lower in the water for a year or so..

I parked in the Retail Park as I needed a few bits & bobs but went for a walk across The Washlands first..
Last time I was there it was, as is it's job, full up with floodwater..

Plenty of sheep around that Bonnie would love to chase (but obviously isn't allowed to!)

Cormorant? 🤔

Hiding amongst the mole hills, barely visible! 😂

Sometimes bleak & windy but on a day like today, just peaceful, apart from a bit of traffic noise from the nearby A45 that @biggs682 frequently travels...

Whenever I walk Bonnie near this café she heads for it knowing that Sharon will give her a treat and ear tickle ☺️

Only in the UK, by the Sea (?) in a little micro-climate could two consecutive days be so far apart weather-wise:

Out we went and passed the fabulous St Michael’s Church:

And over the Great Eastern Linear Park (Old railway lines converted to cycle paths)….

IMG_8611.jpeg


Onto some of ‘The Scores’ at the top end of Lowestoft Town:

IMG_8618.jpeg


Where with so many closed businesses; some of it feels as old as I’ve made the photo look:

IMG_8621.jpeg


Bathed in early Morning sunshine - we headed for Belle Vue Park:

IMG_8625.jpeg


Then along the cliff and into the dunes….

IMG_8628.jpeg

Before finishing with a mile and a half wander along a near deserted and fabulous Beach with the Sun rising……

Sundays utterly gorgeous 10k walk complete ✅

Sharon, at Miller's Yard café said I'd have to call in with Teddy, daughter and grandkids Cockerpoo, to say hello as we're doggy-sitting him for a few days.

He got a free sausage, too!
