The Walk (Written by Ros)
The weather was just perfect for a walk in the Forest. Unfortunately David was unable to change his flu jab appointment, so was unable to join us. We drove to the Red Shoot where we met Pam and Archie. We then walked up the hill towards Linford Bottom and met some quite noisy heifers on route. The sun was warm so this resulted in us peeling off our jackets etc. We turned left at Linford Bottom and did a circular route back to the Red Shoot. In the afternoon we headed off opposite the pub up the hill, where the going was quite muddy. We circled once again back to the pub. Archie thoroughly enjoyed his walk and came back easily after he had spoken to other walkers and dogs! A very sociable dog. Afterwards we returned to David’s where a very welcome cup of tea and cakes awaited us.

The Pub
The Red Shoot. We had a very enjoyable meal, a little more expensive than some, but we all agreed you get what you pay for. Archie enjoyed his bone Pam had given him for his lunch! Tony pointed out a Bentley sports coupe car parked outside the pub that was cherry red with a cream leather interior. The owner was not going to risk putting it in the car park. If Brian wins the lottery tonight he is going to give his new Jazz to Tony! In deference to Archie, the pub had free dog biscuits on the counter.
