A Sunday walk

The weather is up and down at the moment.  One day we can bask in the sun trap on the seat by the back door or have lunch in the garden, on another we have to wrap up against the chilly east wind.   I am in and out opening my cold frame and shutting it again to protect the seedlings - spinach, cabbage, beetroot, courgette, runner beans and garlic.  Geraniums and foxgloves are in the propagator on the kitchen shelf. Hope springs eternal... 

Last weekend it was cool and grey but we went out to test a walk that I've planned for the walking group.  We took the car to North Walsham and walked in a wide circle around the town.  The paths were pleasant and fairly varied but not exciting and the fact that we could glimpse North Walsham all the way round made it seem rather tame.   When we got back into North Walsham we made a 5 mile walk stretch to six by trawling round the streets trying to find somewhere to eat.  We skirted the street fair, complete with town crier and a man in the stocks, and eventually had to settle for what looked like the only eating establishment open - a typical pub doing Sunday carvery and a wide menu that can't have been freshly made.  Peter is often prepared to believe that something is 'home cooked' but I always suspect that while it may have been 'cooked' in the pub that probably involved shoving a plastic bag in the microwave!   Anyway it was hot food and we needed warming up!
