Milland Morning Walk 5th October 2016


Mary, John, Barbara and Peter conspired to give us a walk that would get us back to The Rising Sun in good time,  as it was rumoured there may be a birthday party. We were encouraged not to dawdle too much as the pub wanted us to order early and we were a large group of 21.  It was a beautiful day with a clear blue sky. Our walk was around just under 4 miles and about 300 feet of climbing, so we were all still in good health and early to the pub. The arrangements were excellent with 2 courses served in good time and highly edible. Mary had the tricky task of firstly blowing out the candles and then the even trickier job of cutting the cake into 21 pieces. Unsurprisingly, Mary performed both tasks with great skill, as expected  from a girl of a certain age. We are all looking forward the the next significant event in 10 years time! Thank you Mary for an excellent day. Thanks to Marian, Jeff and Denis for photos.
