We are negotiating with the Moss family who run the guest-house in Great Moulton, to place a way-station there. It will carry a carving of Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders. The next one going East we are hoping to place at Quiet Waters in Bungay. For this reason we needed to find a safe way across the A140. We could see on the map that there was a right of way at the appropriately named Walk Farm, just about a mile north of the roundabout at Pulham with a good long view of the traffic. Miraculously we met Liz Chubbock on a trip to the theatre. She lives at Walk Farm and is a keen walker. She was able to show us a good route from Great Moulton to Walk Farm, we met there again on Saturday 29th May to make an exploratory walk to Bungay. It was a lovely walk through Harris Green and past Airfield Farm and Websdill Wood (a lovely stopping place for a picnic.) At Earsham there is a footbridge across the Waveney to take us back to Quiet Waters, where we had left the cars.
Over the weekend 13th – 15th June, Gill and Steve went across to Hay on Wye to meet Will Spankie, a sculptor from Sussex. (see www.willspankie.com ).He is eager to create something there. His father lives in the locality and was a keen walker until suffering a severe stroke three years ago. We found a good possible site for a artwork on a small picnic site by the bridge over the River Wye. It is strategically placed on two other long distance paths – Offa’s Dyke path and the Wye Valley Way. Due to one of those amazing ‘God-incidences’ that we have experienced in puirsuit of this project, we met the Town Clerk and the Mayor and were able to discuss things with them. So we prayerfully await a decision from the Hay on Wye Town Council. They meet on 5th.July, and say that they will give us a decision staight away. If we get the go-ahead, Will can set about designing something and include his father in the process.
