" Toothy in Norwell Church"Today we had a walk from Ossington in Nottinghamshire. It was a pleasant, flat walk across agricultural fields (no cows!) and through woodland. Although it was mainly flat it was difficult walking because all the paths had been very muddy and churned up by tractors and horses and now they had dried out and set solid and so it was very uneven walking. We arrived at the village of Norwell (pronounced Norrell) and looked around the church which was medieval.
The churchyard was lovely as it was covered in primroses. We had lunch at the Old Plough and afterwards chatted with a lady who was off to tend her allotment. There were lots of birds about with lots of birdsong. As we crossed a field near the end we saw two lapwings taking off and also a verge covered in cowslips. We finally walked through the grounds of Ossington Old Hall, which had been demolished in the '60s. We went to look at the church but the door was locked but it did have a very unusual sun-dial in the graveyard. (Nearly 10 miles)
