Big freeze at Burgh Castle!!

On Sunday 20th January,ventured out into the wild!!!Bitter Easterly wind blowing across the marshes. Trying to think where to go, decided in the end to visit our local Roman fort, a huge ancient ruin,with views overlooking marshes and mud flats, and criss crossing paths leading into sheltered reed beds.We stood high on the hill and large flocks of widgeon wheeled overhead.Two Marsh Harriers quartered over the reeds, and disturbed them, we struggled down the steep steps onto the reedy path and came out onto a little bridge overlooking the river, we went quietly so as not to disturb the feeding ducks, two Dab chicks or Little Grebes, a small group of Shoveler, doing their strange little circle dance, a Snipe, and Mallard.
Treated myself to some base layer thermal wear, t shirt and leggings to wear underneath clothes, and why oh why didn^t I put them on, note to self, PUT THEM ON!!!!next time!Been hoping just lately to get out and start doing tasks again out on The Broads, but as I have been unwell lately havent been able to, arm is feeling numb and sore, after an operation so I have to build my strength up first, so been feeling a bit stir crazy, nice to get out even though it is flippin freezing!!!
