The
Walk
Summer
is coming… so the forecasters tell us… but not quite yet. We (wisely) brought
raincoats with us when we gathered at the Branksome Woods car park. It wasn’t
heavy rain that dogged us through the day, just a persistent drizzle, but we
ploughed on anyway. We stopped on the shore front for Trisha to boil a kettle
and provide tea and biscuits. We then took the steep climb up through the
tropical gardens which looked a bit out of place at the moment. They’ll perk up
next week. Outwith the tropical gardens, we saw numerous flowers and plants…
all English garden varieties. After lunch we walked along the higher road beyond
the bowling greens until descending again to shore level. It was a brisk walk
and probably did us good, but we look forward to the better weather promised
for next week. Thanks to Trisha for the tea and biscuits on the shore and at
her home.
The
Pub
Not
a pub this week but a café at the Argyll Bowls Club. A new venue for us and an
interesting one. The food was good, reasonably priced and served very quickly.
No pies, but no complaints either.

Week
