The Walk
I have to keep reminding myself that this is still April. The weather would be considered good if it came in the middle of August. For this time of the year it is outstanding. We drove to Winterborne Clenston and parked in the field adjacent to the church, a spot we last used on a walk to Milton Abbas. This time we walked a little farther along the main road, past the manor house, and then turned along a path that led us up into Whatcombe Woods. Our semi-circular route took us through woods and pastures that were a riot of colours with all the wild flowers in bloom. Wendy has reminded me that we saw bluebells, wild garlic, speedwell, cowslips, buttercups, daises.... and others.
After lunch, we took the more direct route on the eastern side of the main road, leading us back to the cars at Winterborne Clenston.
We finished up with tea and cake (actually is was a huge sponge CAKE) at Sue's house. Many thanks, Sue. Your cakes are always special.
The Pub
We ate at the Milton Arms pub in Winterborne Whitechurch. The food was good and the service was friendly. The home-made chicken and mushroom pie was up to scratch.
Next Week
Meet at Wendy's for a walk from Affpuddle
