Monday 6^th

When we woke up it was a horrible cold grey day, and during breakfast it began to rain. We cruised about a bit … We had tea at S. Walsham broad, after which I took 10 pictures of a grebe, on its nest, with its crest up. Only one photo has been taken of this before, by Mr. Oakley and a friend of his. Mr. Oakley got some too and said he wouldn’t sell his reel for £5! … zwr zbo zwl zph ztc
