The Plan
We had no clear plan from the previous Wednesday. Nearer the day, we planned to meet at Haskins Garden Centre, for a walk to Stapehill and return.
The Leader
Trudy
Who Turned Up
Trisha, Wendy, Sue, Ros, Beatrice, Tony, Brian, Diane and Serge.
The Walk (written by Ros)
Wendy, Sue, Trisha and Ros met at Trudy’s. Wendy took us to Haskins Car Park where we met Beatrice, Tony, Brian, Diane and Serge. Unfortunately, Wendy had a nasty fall in the car park fracturing her wrist and breaking her glasses. No more watching the Eddie Stobbarts lorries for you, Wendy!
Tony kindly drove Wendy home in her car with Diane following to bring Tony back to Haskins. A few of us set off along the main road and turned into Green Lane which took us to Ham Lane where we met the remainder of the group, Brian, Tony, Diane and Serge. Then we all set off for Stapehill. After lunch we set off on the return walk, turning off across Ferndown Common. The heather and the duck pond were very picturesque. All-in-all, it was a lovely walk but marred by Wendy’s fall as we were all thinking about her and how she was feeling. We all wish her a speedy recovery.
Diane is planning an early birthday party for Serge on Friday, before he and his family head off for America to live. Lots of good luck to all and hope it won’t be too long before we see Serge again.

(Tony added the following)
The walk was not without drama. Before we left Haskins, Wendy had a nasty fall. She tripped over the pavement curb while checking what was happening with a delivery lorry, which I believe was reversing. The result was that she cut her head and cheek, realigned/chipped her new glasses, hurt her wrist (later confirmed to be broken), and was thoughly shaken up. After first aid from Haskins and a cup of tea, it was decided that she should go home.
The Pub
The Fox and Hound at Stapehill. The meal was okay, but not wonderful. Tony enjoyed the liver. We can't comment on the pies as David was missing.
