Now spring has finally arrived there are some very green and scenic views near to home. The ancient and senile river Wensum winds slowly through Norfolk entering Norwich just a mile or two from my door-step.

" Who knows whether the best of men be known? or whether there be not more remarkable persons forgot, then any that stand remembered in the known account of time? "
IF the substantial subject be well forged out, we need not examine the sparks which irregularly fly from it.

Now, that is lovely. Are those Lombardy poplars? Never mind, I love weeping willows. A sweet, placid river.
Teegee is right, it is lovely. It really still is a green and pleasant land. That's a nice picture, too.
I believe they are Lombardy poplars. The word 'Wensum' apparently derives from the old Saxon meaning of 'Winsome'.
What a beautiful country you live in!
