Well that was really helpful and thoughtful
Just what you need really
After plodging through the mud to Meldon
Struggling into the wind out to Black Tor
Wending down through the rocks
To find the so called stepping stones
Near the enclosed land
By the West Okement
Watching one twit fall in the river
Then having a go yourself
And the self same twit
Just as you are finding your balance
Taking a flash photograph
So you cannot see anything
As you pirouette gracefully
From rock to rock
Yes a really good idea
On to Shelstone in the rain
Then driving to the pub
With far more candles than people
Still the chairs we left
All had puddles in them
Seven tonight for the walk on a warm drizzly night. From Long Ash we went across the moor and down a very slippery muddy path to have a look at progress on Gem Bridge. Getting closer to completion and it should be finished in another couple of months. From here to Grenofen Bridge and then along the river to Double Waters for a short break before deciding to take the slightly shorter route back. On to the London Inn.
We were there, well eventually, but he wasn't, hopefully, next time he will be. But Henry won't be, not that we were at his pub, well some were, for a short while, apparently he has been banned from his own pub, how can they do that, someone snitched on him, claiming he was actually a cat, how ridiculous. We learnt a lot, when is a pie not a pie, how you can fit your own hip, that there really might be smoked salt. We hardly found time for a misty walk round Beardown, to the leat for tea, up and over Longaford to Littaford and on to Crockern. And as a taster for next week from your leader.Gem Bridge progress
Just as well really
That we didn't have one
With us
Because
It would not
Have been right
To send it out
In that
But it was nice
And wild
And wet
And windy
For a good tromp round
Over Brat
So easy to find
To the lintel for tea
Over to Doe
Down and round
Through the fields
To Frank's
Which was quiet
You really do have to be there ...
Well that was really helpful and thoughtful
