With Ginny and Steve at the marvellous Mill House in West Deeping. It is damp and foggy, but quite mild as they say in these parts. Steve is in good nick after his heart bypass operation and is walking miles every day. We say hello to Ginny and the horses.
We head off for a walk with Steve and Ginny and stomp along soggy fields through green countryside turning russet and gold as the leaves fall. In the evening we have a drink in the famous George Hotel (first recorded in 947) then head to the newer Tobie Norris pub (the building dates from 1280), for some good food.
- Autum walks – russet, gold and cold!
Thursday, another walk, this time two hours struggling to keep up with Steve marching ahead at 3.5 miles an hour (he’s measured it!) in my borrowed boots kept on with the help of three pairs of socks. There’s a lot of mud, but Jan and Steve seem to be having a great time, so I daren’t complain or I’ll be branded a wimp. Sigh! Maybe I need a heart op?
Lunch in Stamford and some shopping. Folk club tonight. My legs hurt.
