The Wednesday Walk on 9th July 2008

The Plan
To meet at Wendy's, study the weather and take it from there. The weather forecast does not look good.

The Leader
N/A

Who Turned Up
Wendy, Diane, Trisha, Beatrice, Tony, David

The Walk
The walk was cancelled because of the persistant rain. To occupy the morning, we drove to Pam's house for coffee, biscuits and playful pooch. We then drove on to the Globe at Highcliffe for lunch. It was still raining after lunch, so we drove back to Christchurch and visited the Museum of Electricity. Even allowing for the fact that it was free, we all agreed it was well worth the visit: interesting exhibits and an entertaining lecture. We left the museum around 3.30pm. Note for the future: Diane has invited us to her house for a champagne tea and a swim on 6th August. Put it in your diaries.

The Pub
The Globe Inn, Highcliffe. Tel: 01425 271360.
We have used the Globe before and never failed to enjoy the meals and environment there. Five of the six of us had a very reasonably priced plate of fish, chips and mushy peas (£5.49). All enjoyed it, especially as the fish was skinned. David, as usual, had to be awkward and had chicken, bacon and cheese melt. It was tasty, but a bit more expensive (£8.50). When will he learn to have a sandwich?
