Walking in the Forest on Tuesday 30th July 2024

Well yesterday was hot, hot, hot so we were very careful not to walk too far for too long. So having met at Hyde we had a lovely gentle stroll, resting a couple of times under the large fir trees that were available also.

Despite the high temperature of close to 30, we drank enough water, wore enough sun cream and hats and had a lovely catch up as usual.

There wasn't much call for hot drinks at The Potting Shed though this afternoon. Thank goodness they were offering some refreshing soft drinks with their usual delicious cake.

As usual, the ten of us chatted, laughed and retold stories we hoped others would enjoy.

Walk with Pals at Blashford Nature Reserve

 

A lovely afternoon’s walk in the summer sunshine. Followed by tea, coffee, cake, conversation and lots of laughter at Hockey’s farm shop.

 Walking from Tuckton Tea Gardens to Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve

Tuesday 2nd July 2024

Although we were short on numbers today for a variety of different reasons, what a lovely time eight of us had as we walked from Tuckton Tea Garden, past the Wick Ferry towards Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve and back again. The weather was kind to us, neither too hot or too windy. 

As usual there were several different conversations taking place about several different topics. There was lots of activity on the River Stour and we all enjoyed watching the canoeists, paddle boarders and sailors. 

Our walk finished when we returned to the tea gardens and enjoyed our usual coffee/tea and cake. Sadly, one of our PALS is moving out of the area so won't be able to join us every time now. But we have all promised to keep in touch and hopefully meet up some time in the near future.
