Today, I went with my Walking Group on a 4 1/2 mile (note, not km!) walk, ending up at The Riverside Tavern in a village called Creech St. Michael (I had ploughman's lunch - yum, yum). We began with a tour of the 13th century church in the middle of the village (you can see the spire jutting out in the photo - click on the photo and you should obtain an enlargement of it) and then walked along rights-of-way, over stiles, and followed pathways across fields. Actually, there were herds of cows and flocks of sheep in a couple of fields we sauntered across. Fortunately for us, yesterday's heavy rain was spent so that the sun could shine brightly on us while we rambled around in the countryside.
The puppy is persona non grata on these walks so far. Maybe he will be allowed to go sometime in the future.
Yesterday, since it was raining, Gill and I watched a British romantic saga set in Cornwall (on DVD), called 'Poldark'. It was excellent. There were two DVDs - that means several hours of viewing ... and that was only series one. Now, I have to order the second series. I can't wait to see what happens next.
On Saturday night, we had seven dinner guests. It was loads of work but also loads of fun. They were mostly neighbours of Gill's and I had met them all previously a few times.
