Thurs 8/22/2013: We started through Wroxham to
Moveton, so S could return the bicycle lock we’d rented the day before, that
had been in his knapsack. V. endearing,
that he be so scrupulous.
On yesterday’s bike
ride, S curious what was the spinach-y looking crop he was seeing in the fields
(I was too nervous to look up and wonder).
It was rutabaga, growing beautifully – great fat roots, not too much
foliage, and not a harlequin bug in sight.
S wanted to find a farmer and ask, what was their secret?
We started in
Norwich and ended up in Lavenham, to the SW, but S wanted first to drive up to
the North cost of Norfolk, to Cromer (tawdry) and Blakeney (pretty salt flats,
and a duck and swan area with benches for people to watch them swim back and
forth and back and forth…
Blakeley had a trail
up on an embankment w/ salt marshes below.
V. peaceful, but one didn’t actually see the sea. Salthouse had huge dunes and a beach all of
sea-polished pebbles – not too many people.
S v. happy to see a long sweep of thinly-populated seashore.
