A beautiful morning, full sunshine and 21C by lunch time, with no wind.
A gentle cycle ride, to build up our appetite for lunch, later.
Just over ten miles, Terrington St John - Walpole Highways - Marshland St John - Terrington St John. A very pleasant way to spend the morning.
I notice on our cycle ride, there is an incredible concentration of "quality housing" in the area, with more being built. Obviously an affluent area, although, I don't quite follow where it (the wealth) is coming from?
A little rest, then, lunch at The Woolpack.
They do a very pleasant "Pensioners Special" on Mondays, only £7.50 for two course, very reasonable.
An after lunch drink in the beer garden, followed by a walk back to The Old School House.

Another beautiful day, full sunshine 22C, slight breeze.
As part of my quest to collect photographs of places we have cycled to, beginning A, B, C... etc (I am currently up to "C"), I have a plan to cycle to Downham Market.
Checking the route on Google Maps, it is approximately 24 miles, assuming we do not fall foul of the Norfolk tendency to have no directional signposts, and, no place name boards.
In the event, it is a 34 mile round trip, not sure Kathleen is happy about that! I did treat her to a Costa Coffee at the 20 mile point.
Somehow, I get the feeling that Kathleen has not entered into the spirit of the ABC Challenge.
But, credit where credit is due, still going strong at the half-way point, 17 miles, not bad for a 1947 vintage cyclist !
