A mild very dull day with rain later but it brightened considerably as we arrived at the Moorlands.

Moorlands: 17:00


The rain came so we high-tailed it to the Moorlands for the early bird & a bottle of plonk. The meal was super but the plonk soon ran out.
A mile and a half walk home in constant drizzle. 

The rain is never as wet after a nice meal and a relax.
