Walking Group – We did the walk along the Whitegate Way and the weather was very kind to us, just bit overcast. The path was very dry considering all the recent rain. Although the trees were very bare, not a leaf in sight, we saw plenty of birds and I am sure I spied a bull finch. We saw the back of a little creature which looked like a mouse. Quite a few very well behaved dogs that we could have a quick stroke of. We finished our 1.5 hr walk with a lovely lunch at the Station Cafe

Book Club – Our book this month was ‘Mrs Winterbottom takes a gap year’ by Joanna Nell. A good turn out of 12 , including a new member. Most members really enjoyed this book, a change from the pscycholical thrillers we’ve read recently. The different approaches to retirement by Mrs and Mr Winterbottom, both Gps, and the description of Mrs Winterbottom’s extended break in Greece was in interesting read, with a high score from our group.
