Had a spring walk around the quintessential English village of Groombridge in East Sussex on Easter Sunday.

Groombridge is a village of about 1,600 people, straddling the borders of the counties of Kent and East Sussex in England.

I had been working in the village school during the week and wanted explore this beautiful area more. It was a stunning Easter Sunday morning and we had a great, if muddy, ramble of about five miles.

A Little Lane, the brook runs close beside
And spangles in the sunshine while the fish glide swiftly by
And hedges leafing with the green spring tide
From out their greenery the old birds fly

John Clare (1793-1864)
