The Walk
The weather being seasonably wet, we were in no hurry to get our feet pounding the sodden ground, so opted for a short walk that would have the benefit of cover when we got to Poole. For cover, ladies, read shoe shops. We gathered at Sue's house and then drove to Tricia's for morning coffee. Trudy joined us there. Diane and Tony, sorry you were unable to be with us because of Tony's back trouble. Refreshed after our coffee, we drove to Whitecliff and walked along the harbour shore to Poole. With no wind, the water was calm as a millpond. We inspected a number of eateries in Poole before opting to try the Italian restaurant on the quay.
After lunch we wandered up through the town and then went on through Poole Park. Some diversion was provided by the exercise machines situated within the park, This is where the fit and active walkers demonstrated just how fit they really were. See the pictures above for evidence. Finally, we drove back to Sue's for tea, mince pies and Christmas cake. Many thanks, Sue.
The Restaurant
Italian Gossip on Poole Quay. The deal was two courses for £6.95. The food was very nicely prepared and presented. The amount on the plate varied from "just about enough" to "not enough" depending upon the dish chosen. Obviously they are not in compettion with the pies at the Foresters!
