Took a stroll out to Moreton's Leam on the River Nene Washes after the recent rain and the Washes had been opened to contain the excess of water trying to get out to sea. Everything still flooded, rather there than here. Bronica Etrs, Ilford HP5,Bellini Euro HC. #believeinfilm#photography
There's a Cambridgeshire fens version of Black Shuck, too. Oh, and the "Fen Tiger".
If Monks Wood is anything to go by, keenly scrutinising the autumn flocks, like I did last weekend and every autumn, is a mug's game! On paper last weekend was looking perfect (big arrival shortly before, <60 km inland, first big wood after crossing the coast & Fens) - but nope!
It’s like meeting Spartacus, or his son, therefore Spartacus has become rather quickly morphed into D-Fens.
BEOWULF: So then I wrestled with Grendel's mother. Tbh she was pretty hot, didn't mind wrestling with her, more like Grendel's MILF lmao DANES: Wait, seriously? BEOWULF: oh yeah, you should see her Only Fens
Well I absolutely loved Waterland - a wonderful shaggy-dog story of a novel that drew me in from the off and then set me down among the vast skies and ditches of the Fens, while the centuries and the weather turned about me.
