Not really the weather for messing around on the Norfolk Broads but at least some of the wildlife braved it.

The radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata) is a species in the family Testudinidae. Although this species is native to and most abundant in southern Madagascar, it can also be found in the rest of this island and has been introduced to the islands of Réunion and Mauritius.
It is a very long-lived species, with recorded lifespans of at least 188 years. These tortoises are classified as critically endangered by the IUCN, mainly because of the destruction of their habitat and because of poaching. – Wikipedia

Thank you for your views and comments. They are all greatly appreciated.
This was so awesome to see, I had to pull over on the Interstate and take some shots before it went away.

Eastern White Pelican
St James Park
London, England
A Bit of History
At the height of the Cold War, when the Russian ambassador to the UK extended the hand of friendship by offering some Russian pelicans for the park, the US ambassador got wind and decided they had to match the offer. A move that only exacerbated tensions.
As the story goes, the pelicans that the Americans sent didn’t get on with the Russians.
True to the age, there was a lot of posturing about whether either side were trying to sabotage the other. Until it turned out that the US pelicans were of a saltwater species and just didn’t like the fresh waters of St James’s Park.
Mistake realised and pelicans recalled, the Americans sent a fresh batch that ended up getting along just fine with their Russian counterparts. True again to the age, the story remains shrouded in the clandestine, with neither side confirming its truth.

Deep Purple... the Song:
If you’ve survived long enough to remember putting a 45’s on the record player, then you may remember this song. First recorded by Paul Whiteman in 1934, Nino Tempo & April Stevens made it an American Rock & Roll Hit in 1963.
When a deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
in the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh 🎶
