Carlton Marshes in fog
Saturday 26th of May 2018
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 Marsh…

Holiday in Malta 2017, day 5
Saturday 29th of April 2017
Today, Marsaxlokk again, this time for lunch. The weather was a bit dull and grey, and we felt like having a nice relaxed, lazy day, so we didn’t want to do anything too adventurous. boats on the shore of Pretty Bay colourful boat prow yellow and orange floats boat propped up for repair lifejackets on a small boat fishing nets spread out on the ground We had lunch at a place called Southeast Café.…

A walk to Lowestoft
Saturday 30th of July 2016
Continuing the walking theme from last time , Zoe and I walked all the way to Lowestoft town centre and back today, a distance of just under 12 km, and taking us 2 hours 45 minutes. We’re both fans of Pokémon Go, primarily since it provides some pretty good motivation to go out and walk a lot, so naturally we had it active on our phones on the way into town. Alas, location data, full screen brigh…

Dunwich Heath, overcast
Sunday 19th of June 2016
Zoe and I visited Dunwich Heath yesterday, primarily because it’s a nice place to go for a walk, but also because we hoped to get some nice photos. The sky was quite heavily overcast, though, putting a dampener on our pictorial ambitions, but we still enjoyed the walk (at least until about half way when Zoe’s boots started hurting her feet). bone white branches rusty padlock path into the woods sc…

OCOLOY Week 47
Sunday 21st of February 2016
Following on from marriage on Tuesday, Zoe and I went on a small honeymoon to a country house hotel in northern Norfolk, courtesy of her sister. It was a little dark by the time we got there, thanks to some roadworks delaying us by half an hour on the way, but we still had time to enjoy a lovely walk around the large National Trust park behind the hotel. country garden livestock warning branches a…

Into Darkness
Sunday 14th of June 2015
I spent most of yesterday writing code , right on up until about 9pm, which left me in no frame of mind to sleep, so I decided to go for a walk to clear my head. I got a bit lost, following a road into a housing estate then on to various footpaths that crossed fields. The light was like this when I started: the light at the start of my trek Getting dark, but nothing to worry about really. By the …

Pakefield Beach
Sunday 6th of July 2014
My fiancée Zoe and I moved house recently, to Carlton Colville, a small suburb south of Lowestoft , and one of the nicest things about it is that it’s only a short walk to the beach in nearby Pakefield. view south along Pakefield beach The view south along Pakefield beach me on the steps down to Pakefield beach Zoe took this picture of me on the steps down to Pakefield beach The beach is very wel…

Saturday 5th of April 2014
Posts in this series: Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 The weather forcast for today was not promising, but fortunately it wasn’t accurate either – the sun was out and the wind was pretty mild, so all in all the temperature was quite pleasant.
