It was nearly 18 months since we last went there so I suggested we go to
Redgrave and Lopham Fen for our Boxing Day walk. It's about 1/2 hour from Bury St Edmunds - just follow the A143 towards Diss and look for the brown sign for the road to the left through the pretty village of
Redgrave and across the county border into Norfolk. There is a good choice of waymarked paths...

We chose the 6.5km Waveney path, but perversely chose to walk it in the wrong direction. We also neglected to tell the little ones how far it was. "Are we nearly there yet?", they said...
Hmm. Just about half way at this point. It was a lovely sunny day, but with a cold easterly wind. The wintry fenland landscape was picturesque.

It was pretty quiet, apart from the occasional bird call and the lovely rustling noise of the wind in the dry reeds.
Watch out for the wild horses that roam the Nature Reserve.

We eventually made it round and set out our picnic...
But it wasn't like
Dunwich Heath last Boxing Day. They look a bit cold, don't they? Five minutes later we were all in the car with our turkey sandwiches!
