The Walk
We parked
at the usual roadside lay-by just beyond the church at Tarrant Keynston. For
this time of the year, the walk up to the little old church was not too muddy. The
grounds around the old thirteenth century church were well covered with
snowdrops. We managed to get inside to see the remains of the very ancient wall
murals. We were also disappointed to see that the collection box had been
broken into. A sad statement about the world today, even in a remote country
church. We walked on across the fields to Spetisbury and then up onto the old
railway track. A short walk along the track took us to Charlton Marshall and
lunch.
After
lunch we came back roughly the same way, with a small diversion. By now the
temperature was up to about 12 degrees so our warm coats became superfluous.
We
finished off with tea and a birthday cake at Beatrice and Tony’s. Thank you,
ladies, for the welcome refreshment. And a happy birthday wish to Tony.
The Pub
The
Charlton Inn at Charlton Marshall. It’s been a while since we were last here.
We were pleased to see well-cooked food and very good service. They even put a birthday
candle on Tony’s pudding. Worth another visit.
Next Week
Meet at
the car park by Pamphill village school at 1045 for a walk into Wimborne.
