I arrived back from an overseas trip in time to allow the now (almost) traditional visit to The Wash to see a mid-Summer sunset over the sea. Despite wet weather during the day and a forecast of thunderstorms, there was a break in the weather that allowed a dazzling view of the setting sun reflected across the sea.
As the sun set lower, it disappeared below a cloud bank on the horizon which, although a little disappointing, presented a moody picture with vivid colours on the clouds and reflected in the sea. (This picture taken by my Dear Wife.)
Twilight lingered and the lighthouse on the cliff top glowed more brightly, but we eventually decided to head for home - taking a direct route along back roads through Dersingham, Massingham and Castle Acre. On reaching Swaffham we took a small diversion to get a closer look at the Green Britain Centre large wind turbine. That turned out to be a mistake! As we continued our journey on the way out of Swaffham I saw something never previously experienced in over 30-years of driving - blue flashing lights in my rear-view mirror.
I pulled over, wound down the window and narrowly avoided the clichéd "what seems to be the problem occifer?" Apparently my brief interest in the wind turbine had been interpreted as 'acting suspiciously' and so they wanted to make sure I wasn't up to no good... all I can say is there can't be much else happening in Swaffham on a Friday night. After a quick PNC check we were on our way again.
