| Off
from Bury St Edmonds after a very pleasant stay at the
B&B – swimming pool very welcome with sore feet.
Eleanor liked the Dog – very easy going character.
Travelling
North out of Bury had to do some road walking to get
into the country – it’s really scary with
the cars and trucks coming down on you – we really
should make better provision for pedestrians and cyclists.
Eventually
made our way to the river – very pleasant trip
along the side of this and then through the woodlands.
One
village struck me as to how wealthy the church used
to be. There was a grand Georgian vicarage, a big house
for the curate and another vicarage down the road. Reed
thought that it all came from wool – fantastic.
Most
of the walk today was over the flattish land with woods
and open fields. Again saw lots of birds – Sly
larks, blackbirds, crows, pigeons,
We
had a call from Ben Jo & JP and arranged to meet
them lunchtime – were able to talk them in to
a crossing point. – lots of great sandwiches and
drinks – thanks Jo.
We
all then set of down the track for a couple of miles
passing the pigs – see photos. Finally JP had
to be taken back as the pushing was too hard.
Shortly
after we heard from Andy at BBC East and arranged to
meet up with him at the next pub for photos –
we had to walk a mile further on for a good location.
– what it is to be celebs.
Saw
a few animals on the way – lots of rabbits, a
hare, a deer far in the distance - ? Roe, Monkjack browsing
by the side of the road.
Finally
into the Thomas Pain Hotel at Thetford for a good dinner
with Andrew Anne & Emily Rose. Thetfords been nicely
laid out with footpaths by the water.
A
most enjoyable day all round.
