SUNDAY WALK BY THE RIVER

This is our Beccles quay and the river wall should be for people to walk on, but of course who can compete with all these fishermen and their poles......we used to catch loads of fish when I was small and we just had a pole and some string and worms, think we caught more than they were.... was going to take a pic of their fish bait, but thought it was rather yuk!!!!!!

The Quay over the other side is still flooded.....
Jan and I decided that we needed a walk in the bitter cold but great sunshine, so we set off for the river and marshes...Trees are a great love of mine and this is pretty old......
A swan on its own is unusual around here, but it seemed happy enough...............
Could not resist the shadows...not a place to go in the dark though.............
Not as good as Dives water pics, but nice and wavy.....
Beccles is a way in the distance you can just see the church tower.....we have a long walk still ahead, but it was great....

When Janet says "Let's go for a walk", she's pretty serious, huh?

I love the old lime tree and the view across the marshes.

Lovely photos. It's been crazy cold here, too, but without the sunshine.
