Weekend wanderings











I took Joseph home on Friday and took the opportunity to have a walk with Juno towards Moors Valley from Potterne. We then stopped at The Albion on the way home which set the tone for the weekend.

On Saturday Juno and I walked down to Verwood in the afternoon and met up with Bridie and Joseph in The Swans where we watched the rugby by accident. I'd hoped to see the football but never mind. I bumped into two people I knew over 30 years ago from working at Key and playing darts in the early nineties. 

Sunday saw Alison and I head to Badbury Rings where we met with Kate and the girls. Joe was in Bristol with Glen for his 40th birthday celebrations and Maria had a sleepover on Saturday so a smaller group than would otherwise have been the case. It was a gorgeous morning and we had a lovely walk before all heading home for a bit of dinner. 

Later Alison and I drove Bridie to the Mayflower in Southampton stopping for a couple of drinks before the concert by BSO featuring the music of John Williams from the Star Wars movies. It was a great couple of hours and the atmosphere was enhanced by the arrival of characters from the films, or at least role players.

Almost like spring

It was still chilly this morning but Juno and I were in the woods by 7 and enjoying the light at last, the days stretching at either end not...
