Narrative: 

A Norfolk Wander

The air had a bit of a bite today, but the bluebells were out in full force to compensate.

A charming exchange of photography skills with a French Bulldog owner set the tone for a lovely visit to the hall. While Margaret took a well-earned rest, the local wildlife took centre stage—from the “in charge” greylag geese by the lake to a very busy pied wagtail on the front lawn. A classic English afternoon,complete with well-behaved hounds and a spot of tea.
