It’s not what it appears to be !

To exercise the dog it’s a walk by the Orwell estuary from Pin-Mill with some great views of the river and also the inland farmland ! Fields of swede interspersed with some poppies and what appears to be lavender but isn’t ! Purple swathes of the herb borage !
After a fishy lunch at the Butt & Oyster it’s a short trip over to Tattingstone village - very quaint with another oddity or rather the Wonder ! It looks like a church but it’s a private house that was three cottages. And from the front it looks like a church but the tower is FAKE and from behind it’s just tiles!
Then it’s our afternoon visit to Flatford Mill and Mr Constable’s paintings ! All very scenic and NT these days but it seems even the great painter adapted what he could see ! Not quite a view across the meadows then or even now ! A little creativity to remove the trees , add a meadow and distant steeples !
Another fun hot day !Läs mer
