Constable Country’ –

Many thanks to Follett for a beautiful walk in Constable country; the weather was perfect and the scenery was English countryside at its best, the jewel in the crown being Flatford Mill. We still had butterflies, too: speckled wood, red admiral and small white (or was it a green-veined white?). There were lots of blackberries on the way and, talking of food, a lovely lunch (booked in advance, therefore fast service); and some beautiful churches on the way. Perfectly planned, Follett!
