Walking on Hyde Common 

                                                        on Tuesday 7th October 2025

Once again, we couldn't believe how lucky we were to enjoy a lovely, quiet walk on Hyde Common in the sunshine. The donkeys were enjoying the mild weather too and quietly waited as we walked past them. Today we didn't see many birds but we could certainly hear them above the peace and quiet.

A beautiful blue sky above us enhanced another very pleasant walk.

                                                                                         

No walk is complete without a coffee/tea and piece of cake at the end. Once again the Potting Shed was the perfect venue and the staff were as usual very helpful and looked after us well.

 Avon Beach, Mudeford, on Tuesday 30th September 2025

"Oh well I do like to be beside the seaside" could have been our song for the day yesterday. The last day in September was absolutely amazing weather wise and we had such a lovely walk from Avon Run car park to Mudeford Quay. The views of the Needles and the Isle of Wight were super and with the sun in the sky, it was like a perfect day.

Stopping to admire the view and enjoy coffee/tea and cake at Haven House Inn on the quay was ideal, before we all headed back to Avon Beach. The topic of conversation was how fortunate we are to have such beautiful scenery to enjoy and lovely walks to share with each other.
