A walk in Constable country


Yesterday we caught the train from Liverpool St to Manningtree, to go for a walk in Constable country - that is, the area where John Constable lived and the setting for several of his major paintings. We walked from Manningtree to Flatford Mill along a muddy lane with white blossom in the hedges on either side.

This is Flatford Mill itself, on the Stour.













And here is Willy Lott's house, and Constable's painting of the same view.
