Peter, Val (and Bob)

 Val and I went to Strumpshaw Fen. There were very few people or birds around see pictures here

 

 Val organised a get together with staff she had worked with. We met at a rather nice Indian restaurant called Roti.  On arrival the place was completely empty but that rather suited us and the staff were very welcoming. In all we were 6 as some had fallen by the wayside as a result of illness and other reasons

 It's been forever since we had visitors but today we had visitors from Cornwall. Val's friends Anne and Chris had come up to Norfolk with their dog several days ago to see friends and we were pleased to see them this afternoon with their lovely dog Henry. We had been to see them for several days back in 2019. They have a lovely house in Constantine.  Before it got dark we did a walk of about 3 miles with Henry before it got dark.  Those of you who know Bob will know he's a nervous chap and so we had moved him with all his "stuff" to our bedroom.  When we got back we spent the time eating cake and drinking tea while sharing stories. It was lovely having them but before we knew it they had to leave as they had a schedule to keep.
