Who would have thought finding a water source would have me on the edge of my seat? I was quite invested in this adventure! Connecting with the land and water is such a powerful thing.
Of course I had to look up more about Kitchels, which sent me down a culinary rabbit hole ( to my delight as a foodie)
I must confess I was at the time snacking on Panpepato, an Italian Christmas delight I made for the first time the other day, a “cake” made from soaked raisins and peel and nuts and chocolate , held together by honey and flour!
Thank you for the Wander, with my jeans feeling a little damp sitting waiting for the sun to set and the flask to empty. 😉
Thank you so much Elizabeth for your lovely comment and actually, for your own evocative writing in reply to my post. I'm glad I managed to find a culinary avenue that a foodie had not yet investigated! I have made a version of the Italian Christmas 'cake' that you mention, but very many years ago now. I seem to think, though, that it had a different name, though still beginning with a P, so maybe it is just something similar enough to ring a bell. In any case, it sounds delicious. Happy snacking!
It's always a source of wonder to me that people on opposite sides of the world can connect simultaneously while experiencing completely different seasonal conditions. It's not so cold here at the moment, but certainly the summer seems a long way off. Enjoy yours!
I love your mini pilgrimage and all the beautiful accompanying photos. Water and water sources is such an interesting subject.
Water features heavily where I live too, being in Somerset, there is a sign along the road from me that says welcome to Somerset ( even though we are already in Somerset) Twinned with Atlantis! We float on water it seems to me.
Living near the Mendips we have numerous springs and what surprises me most is how much the source of a spring can move each year. I just wondered if it’s the same in Norfolk?
That sounds beautiful, and very different from dry Norfolk! Well I say dry, but at the moment there are plenty of flooded fields and rivers that have burst their banks. We just don't have that lovely sound of moving water in the way that you do, except of course for the sound of the sea. Thank you for your kind words.
I’m going to make some of the kitchels!
Oh Robyn! Let me know how you get on. I plan to make some triangular ones tomorrow for new year's eve.

Oh what a lovely little adventure! Thank you for sharing, from the warmth of an Aussie Summer.

Me too, I'm really enjoying the connections and the weird dissonance and resonance of the diametrically opposite seasons.
