The Walk
The
weather did not look too good, but we decided to go ahead with the planned walk
at Garston Wood. At least it gave us the choice of curtailing the walk if
things got too wet. In fact, the morning walk was pleasant with only the odd
spot of rain… nothing to deter a party of hardy perennials. I am indebted to
Wendy for supplying me with a list of the flowers on show: bluebells, wood
anemones, primroses, violets, early orchids, ajuga (bugle), wild garlic,
euphorba, yellow archangel and celandine. On top of that Tony spotted a variety
of birds. While walking through the wild garlic we disturbed the plants enough
for them to give us a good sample of their aromas.After lunch we came back to the Garston Wood car park. This time we met persistent rain so we cut short the afternoon walk and returned to Beatrice and Tony’s house. Our culinary thanks this week must go to Beatrice, Tony and Trudy, who brought along a home-made cake of huge proportions.
The Pub
The Inn on the Chase. The food was good. The pie-eater appreciated the help-yourself vegetable selection. The only problem was a mix-up with the order.
Next week
Meet at Sue’s at 0945
