Queues for Fuel, Thetford Road At the time of photographing, motorists are responding by panic buying to a shortage of fuel deliveries to filling stations (caused by a shortage of HGV drivers). Hence long queues have formed at those places that have not yet sold out.

Halfcrown Covert is a picturesque wood located in the county of Norfolk, England. Nestled in the heart of the Norfolk Broads National Park, this enchanting forest spans an area of approximately 200 acres, offering a tranquil retreat for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike.

The woodland is predominantly composed of a diverse mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a rich tapestry of colors throughout the year. Majestic oak, beech, and birch trees dominate the landscape, their branches intertwining to form a dense canopy that provides welcome shade during the summer months. Interspersed among them are the evergreen pines, adding a touch of timeless beauty to the woodland.

Halfcrown Covert boasts a myriad of walking trails and footpaths that crisscross the forest, allowing visitors to explore its depths and discover its hidden gems. As they wander through the ancient woodland, visitors may stumble upon a babbling brook that meanders through the trees, providing a peaceful soundtrack to their journey.

The wood is also home to a diverse array of wildlife, with numerous species finding refuge within its boundaries. Keen observers may spot roe deer gracefully bounding through the undergrowth or catch a glimpse of a red fox darting between the trees. The birdlife is equally impressive, with the melodic songs of woodpeckers and the occasional sighting of a majestic hawk soaring overhead.

Halfcrown Covert is a true haven for nature lovers, offering a serene and captivating experience that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of Norfolk's natural landscape.
