The Walk
We
decided that the rural walks would be a bit squashy underfoot after recent rain
so we elected to walk along the shore where the ground was solid and dry. The weather
forecast promised us a dry but chilly day, ideal for walking. We parked in the
road above Branksome Chine and took a meandering route that party followed the
shore and partly took us up through the woods and gardens. We stopped for morning
coffee at the Argyll Bowling Green tea room and didn’t arrive at the lunch stop
until one o’clock.After lunch we walked back along a similar line, this time taking in the new Red Arrows memorial on the sea front. The weather stayed dry, as promised, and the route was ideal for the time of the year. Thanks to Sue for tea at the end of the day. The excellent photos come from the two Trudies.
The Pub
The
Harvester by Boscome Pier. They were easily able to accommodate the ten of us,
probably because they seemed almost empty when we arrived. The waitress began
by telling us what was “off” today’s menu. Not a good start. That was followed
by the bar being unable to supply lemonade for a bitter shandy. The excuse
given was an imminent change of menu. However, we were able to order suitable
meals at reasonable prices and no one starved.
