Marsh path

... to House Hills over Norton creek (not a good plan at high tide).
The use of the word 'hills' is relative in Norfolk.
A chance meeting on the coastal path with the vicar Susan and her daughter who was about to head off back to university. I offered to pick them up at Burnham Overy and give them a lift back to Brancaster so that they could complete the Brancaster to Overy section of the coastal path rather than turn round and walk the way they had come. It was a magical morning of skylarks, avocets (x3), much deliberating amongst the Brent geese and hares racing across the marshy fields, sending up sprays of water behind them glistening in the sunlight. It reminded me of Wordsworth's lines from 'Resolution and Independence' ....

The hare is running races in her mirth;
And with her feet she from the plashy earth
Raises a mist, that, glittering in the sun,
Runs with her all the way, wherever she doth run.
