Sunny with cloud, 24C, but, with a stiff breeze. Despite the cloud and the breeze, it is very warm.
A combination of having cycled a lot this week, plus the breeze, means we opt to walk.
Five and a half miles.
we manage to make a more or less circular walk, to Ludham Bridge, then, follow the river and footpath to How Hill.
Brief stop for picnic lunch and ice cream.
Then follow a small lane to Johnson Street (Ludham), then back to Ludham Bridge.
How Hill is an interesting place, a mooring place (free) for people cruising the broads,
very attractive grounds and forest walks (free).
Donations accepted of course, and, there are items for sale, (ice cream, guide books, "novelties"). But, unusual, in my experience, to find something so attractive, in a tourist area, which is not "cashing in". Am I growing cynical in my old age?
This being Norfolk, obligatory photograph of windmill, and swan. Swan would not pose correctly, so, I didn't give it any bread.

An odd day today. Forecast is only for 19C, and, according to my phone, it is 19C, with a stiff breeze, but, it still feels very warm.
A short cycle ride in the morning (10.8 miles). Ludham Bridge - Ludham - Womak - Potter Heigham - Ludham - Ludham Bridge.
The rest of the day a combination of lazing in the sun, and packing away in preparation for leaving tomorrow.

A bright and sunny morning, 24C plus is the forecast.
Kathleen's traffic jam beating plan has us up at 7:00am.
Ablutions completed, final packing done, and ready to go at 07:45 (minus breakfast).
Breakfast is taken just north of Kings Lynn.
Approximately 270 miles to home, and, Kathleen's plan more-or-less works out, there are no holdups in the road works (I use that term loosely, no work is evident), on the A47, but, we do encounter a few stop-start stretches on the A1M, sheer volume of traffic it would appear.
