Here there lept Indians

There is a story that happened here involving a guy named Uncas and his group of first people chasing another guy named Miantonomo and his group of first people jumping over that river from that rock in that picture there. Not everyone made it. Sure we will revisit the story another time.

Back around the turn of the century, I lived a couple of blocks away from this delightful location and have done many photo sessions here. We will come back here often pages as I have photoed here at various times and seasons.

This was from May 2015. Check out Walk Norwich for the Heritage, and other historic walks in Norwich,

I lost just over a hundred pounds seven years ago and kept it off, not through a diet plans or strict exercise regimens, but through a holistic approach to balancing multiple dimensions of life including mindset and mindfulness, personal and spiritual growth, as well as whole foods eating and joy-based movement.
