The Walk

It was all the fault of that Kirkwood woman on the BBC weather forecast. She has a dreadful way of playing down our English weather. Today she promised us heavy rain and thundery downpours. She even mentioned that the worst of it would be in Dorset. How dare you, woman! In fact we started with a light drizzle and by lunchtime we had blue skies and sunshine.
Because of Ms Kirkwood and her skewed ideas about Dorset weather, we left one car at the pub in case heavy rain precluded us from an afternoon walk. We then began at the car park in Delph Woods. We started out in our wet weather clothes but soon had to discard the outer layers as we warmed up. The morning remained dry until we reached the Lamb’s Green Inn.
The sun was shining as we left the pub and we enjoyed a very pleasant stroll back to Delph Woods. We did meet the occasional muddy bit of footpath, but nothing to deter a Wednesday Walker.
We finished up with tea and lemon drizzle cake at Sue’s. Thank you, Sue, for your double-yoked egg cake.

The Pub

Wednesday is Vintage Pie Day at the Lamb’s Green Inn. The chicken and ham pie was superb with very tasty filling and a super-light flaky pastry top. Unfortunately, only one walker decided to try it. Never mind. Maybe next time…

Next Week

Meet at Diane’s at 10am.
