A view across 'Broad Water' on the North Norfolk coast, the boardwalk seen to the right heads to the sea and to, ''SeaHenge' ,a prehistoric timber circle built during 2049 BC, during the early Bronze Age in Britain. One hundred metres east, another, much larger ring was found, consisting of two timber circles surrounding a pit, Known as 'Holme II', dendrochronology gives a date identical to 'Seahenge': 2049 BC.

This is 'Ulley Reservoir' - at 'Ulley country park'.. photographed from the stone bridge.. the photo is posted,. ''upside down'',. the sky and clouds are the reflection in the water. With a totally still surface 'perhaps another day' ,. the end result would have been even more effective.

''The Royal oak'' ,. centre,. stands very close to 'Boscobel house', [[ see pip ]] the Oak is believed to be a direct descendant of the original tree used by 'King Charles II' to hide from Parliamentary soldiers. The exhausted King slept for some time before returning to Boscobel House that evening on September 6, 1651, fleeing from Parliamentary forces following his defeat at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651.

A view over our local 'Moss Valley' ,. busy with families and dog walkers making the most of this very cold but clear and sunny last day of 2025... ''A ''Happy fence Friday'' ... and all the best of 'Good Wishes'' to everyone into the New Year 2026,. from > David J.. UK.
