Another post with pictures from long after I made them! Getting to be a habit, although I’m not completely sure it’s a bad one: letting the pictures stew for a bit blurs the experience of when I took them, forcing me to see them for what they are in themselves, uncoloured by my memories of the time.

I’m mostly serious, but it’s still partly an excuse for not updating my blog.

Anyway. Carlton Marshes, the nature reserve a short way from our house. It’s big and flat and full of fields and, er, marshes. Nice place for a walk, even in weather like this – it was even flat and dry enough (more or less) when we went that pushing the pram around wasn’t too much of a chore. Only had to carry it over mud a couple of times.
