Out today with the dogs on Wicken Fen and heard a booming bittern, never heard one so early before. Another week or two and it will be the Cuckoos calling. It's been a bad old winter for me mental healthwise, feeling a bit better now. A walk like today's better than any pills. |  | | |  |

Can't beat the Fen, or Anglesey Abbey rose garden for a stroll around. |  | | |

Not quite so exotic, but whilst roaming the woods and pastures of the Ipswih-Shotley-Sudbury Golden Triangle K saw my first swallow of 2018.
Summer is rolling on gentlefolk. |  |

I was walking on the Wicken side of Burwell Lode near where it splits to Reach when I heard him. I'm sure you know it well. | | | |

Everything's late tho, as you'd expect I suppose - daffodils are still only in bud here. On the positive side, definitely no lawnmowing yet required! |  |

I was walking on the Wicken side of Burwell Lode near where it splits to Reach when I heard him. I'm sure you know it well. |
I often go and sit on the bench that overlooks where the lode splits at Reach and have a sandwich. | | | |

Mowed my back lawn on Saturday, the front was delayed by rain. | |

We're really lucky to have places like that on our doorsteps I reckon. | | | |

It's been miserable here too. Hovering around freezing earlier this week. This winter will not end. | |

I love that area for simple long walks which fortunately are also very quiet. Bloody good fishing on those Lodes too and that split is a very good spot.
Love the Fens. |  | | |

Mark Barrett favours that spot. Years back I watched that stretch being surveyed for fish, they stunned the fish counted and measured them. Really big carp and bream and lots of eels surprisingly, rumour has it there's a monster wells cat fish there too. | | | |

Cut mine twice now. First one just a trim, down to a number 2 the second time. Lovely and neat now.
Guess I'll get onto the neighbours this weekend. She always moans if I let it get too straggly poor old dear. [Post edited 10 Apr 2018 17:20]

I've often split my lode while having a reach round. |  | | |
