More stuff.

Been stopping to smell the cow parsley a little bit and it's helped my lack of mojo a bit as water of some sort is  usually involved even the path there is often a bit bendy. This road name is true Norfolk.

It was arrived at via the Alan Sugar frequented Dabbling Duck in Great Massingham which has an interesting line in bog décor.


As well as it's well (risers in the case of the Little Lord Sugar) heeled clientele the surrounding greens have some lovely ponds one of which can be fished and I think it might have recovered a bit from the black plague invasion as the trees have lost their guano covering. Must investigate on or just after the hallowed 16th .

A little closer to home this pretty little pond has a spurious no fishing sign that has probably no legal backing. It used to have  lots of pretty small rudd, crucians and tench, after almost drying up two years ago a lot of encroaching reeds were taken out and there are lots of small commons now.


A lot closer to the sea than it used to be is the iconic Happisburgh Lighthouse. This part of England is  under (un)managed retreat  from the cruel sea now just over that skyline.

  1. It's a pity that pond is full of commons it's be a lot better full of rudd. After all it was a pond like that the Rev caught his record from.

    1. Maybe some survivors left. Perhaps a rule bending fellow of the angle may do some prospecting and report back.
