A wander to Wickhambreaux

Yesterday’s snow excitement has melted away so it is time to share some photos from the rest of the weekend. We managed to have a short walk after work 3 out of 4 days last week so we’d built ourselves up enough for a longer walk on Saturday so we went to Wickhambreaux which is about a mile and a half-ish away.
We’d been told that there was a proper footpath and found that it led out from the back of the church
into some lovely fields.
We were soon by the river.
We were wondering if we had to be midgets to go down this path but decided to crouch under than try to limbo (we’re trying to be dignified).
It wasn’t too long before Wickhambreaux church was in sight.
We heard good reports about their home cured ham but I didn’t really fancy chips today as I wouldn’t haven’t been able to walk home again. I did have lasagne and salad but it didn’t compare in quantity
to what pao ordered! They do some rather nice ice cream – I think it might have been Movenpick but I can tell you that the white peach and raspberry and rhubarb ice creams were very nice.
We stopped in and looked round Wickhambreaux church (photos another day as there are lots and I need to sort them out) and then marched home. My feet were quite sore and I was very sleepy but I don’t think we did badly for our first proper walk this year.
Wow! That’s a chunk of fish. That is fish, isn’t it? It looks like a nice walk.
The walk looks wonderful.
That is a LOT of dinner.
(Cheesecake Factory sized portions.) Rhubarb icecream sounds really interesting.
Just looking at that fish and chips makes me hungry!!
Sounds like a lovely walk! But gosh, a person’d have to walk for another day to work off the pictured meal!!
The fish was good.
Next stop the pub at Ickham.
Nice job on the walking!!!
So beautiful! We much too arid here for such dense vegetation. The green is what I miss most. Growing up in MN there was plenty most years. Here it is probably brown 3/4 of the year with a spot of green in the spring and in the fall. *sigh* You’ll have to keep up the green posts come July and August
I know where I am going to eat in July
That looks like one of the facehugger creatures from the Aliens movies. Battered and deep fried with a nice orange slice on the side.
Looks like a lovely walk though. All aliens aside.
That is a huge piece of fish! Wow!
SO jealous of the green. It’s still very chilly & dreary in Massachusetts, I’m supposed to have the heat off by now, darn it!
The scenery looks great- but I have to say, I’m with Pao, and would have ordered the fish.
(A little food-obsessed here)
You might like to go and find the film “A Canterbury Tale” (Amazon has it at a good price) and see how relatively unchanged Wickhambreaux is since the 1940s.
I used to walk or cycle that route most days going to school from my home in Nargate Street
