A Few Days

Posted on Jul 6, 2022 by TanGental

We took a short break in Suffolk, walking along the Blyth river and enjoying the woods near Thorpeness.

We visited a pick your own flowers shop in Reydon near Southwold

And we exhausted Dog…

Oh and the swans and their family were there, too

About TanGental

My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline. I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy. I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere. These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.

    It all looked most enjoyable, Geoff. I have happy memories of Southwold as my cousin Bernard ran a successful Caravan Park nearby called Kessingland. How nice to be able to pick your own flowers.

    That was part of the selection procedure for new staff. You got the job. Report on Monday morning at 3.30am, £9.50 an hour. Provide your own work clothes, meals and drinks, and bring a pot (you know what for!)

    So Dog didn’t want to chase the swans? Looks like a nice place for a walk.

    The close-up of the ragwort(?) and grasses is lovely.

    Lovely pics, Geoff. You tired Dog out good and proper. And the bouquet of wild flowers is lovely.
    I remember when I was little, in the days when picking wild flowers was allowed (there were lots in those days, of course) making such beautiful arrangements.
    The local church had a flower and produce show with a children’s section for a wild flower arrangement. They were always so lovely.

    Dog looks blissfully happy. These pictures are lovely. I’m sure Suffolk won’t look like this when I am there in December.
