We headed the short distance to Thrandeston for a good walk on Saturday. It's an area we haven't explored before and there are also some interesting carved wooden pew ends in the church I wanted to see.
Doing a couple of shorter circular loops from the church (to test Belinda's dodgy back!) we enjoyed the area a lot. I found a new plant too which always helps - some Marvel-of-Peru which is also known as Four-o'clock Plant growing in a ditch that contained grass cuttings hinting at it's origin as a garden escape. Also seen on the walks were Norway Maple looking very colourful, Osier, Spindle, Crab Apple and plentiful Dewberry. The latter 2 were collected for culinary use at home!
The wooden pew ends at the church were superb - thought to be 2 witches and dating from the 1600's when the hunting and persucution of so called witches was at it's height. One of the figures is lifting her skirt to show her leg and both carry their 'familiars' - a cat and an owl!
At home a Red-legged Shieldbug was on the house wall as we left.
