The Walk
First, I must offer many apologies to our faithful blog-followers for lack of a write-up last week. And apologies also to Trudy because her photographs didn’t get their usual well-deserved airing. I’m afraid the blog-master went straight to bed after the walk, cuddling a hot water bottle, too ill to get to the computer and use the keyboard. Yes, he walked, but our regular followers will understand how bad things were when I reveal that he was unable to eat a pie at lunchtime! Things can’t get worse than that.
This week we enjoyed warmer weather which immediately got us off to a good start. We drove to Lytchett Matravers and parked in the lay-by opposite the Rose and Crown. From there we took the footpath past Foxhills Farm. The ground was reasonably firm with only a few soft muddy patches. We took a short walk along Foxhills Lane and then we cut onto the footpath past Post Green, arriving in Lytchett Minster. Along the way we saw buzzards and snowdrops.
After lunch, Trudy H and Sue walked to the Courtyard Craft Centre while the other three walkers took a shorter route than the morning walk. It brought them back up past Foxhills Farm. We heard a woodpecker but just couldn’t get a sighting of him. The path took us back to the car at Lytchett in little more than an hour. We made a short detour to pick up Trudy and Sue at the craft centre. A very pleasant day with Wendy providing tea before and after the event. Many thanks, Wendy.
The Pub
St Peter’s Finger at Lytchett Minster. A very pleasant environment and the pie-eater was able to make good work of a chicken and ham pie. All is well with the world. The ladies each finished a decent lunch but coffee was postponed until Sue and Trudy H got to the craft centre.
