"Anyone seen a red bobble hat?"
Some of us went "window shopping" at the Brimstage Craft Centre, others looked for the brewery!.
"I would look better in red bobble hat!"
Looking across The Green towards The Pavilion and the spire of All Saintas Church, Thornton Hough.

Joining us at The Red Fox for the meal, Celi and Anne S.
Not exactly an exciting walk, but you hve to be impressed by the picturesque village of Thornton Hough with its village green pavilion,and sports ground, although I wouoln't fancy facing any bowler on the cricket pitch we walked past!
Between road side walking we had plenty of field paths to enjoy, but thankfully they weren't as muddy as the last time I did thi walk. In fact it only took twenty minutes for me to clean my boots in the garden when I got home.
The bonus today wasalong the field path from Brimstage to Thornton Hoigh, I shouted "Stop , listen what can you hear?
Fran wasd first to reply " A Skylark". She was right of course, but I think it was an "auto response!
As we approached the The Red Fox at the end o the walk, there was a hin that it might be about to rain, theweather forecasters had warned us!
We just about had enough tie to changw out of our walking gear and head into The Red Fox.
Brirds seen or heard today included: Common blackbird, Feral pigeon, House sarrow, Blue tit, Great tit, Carrion crow, Jackdaw and Skylark.
We arrived at The Red Fox a little early, but we were asked to enjoy a drink at the bar while we waited. This we did enjoying liquid refreshments sata rounfd a real fire until we were called.
Everyone said that they had enjoyed their meals, some even had desserts, but enjoyed another sample of liquid nectar!
The bonus for me, was after everyone had paid their part of the food/drinks meal and it came to my turn to pay and all that was left was the cost of the meal that I had earten!
A very enjoyable meal for all 9 of us, enhanced by the pleasant attitude of the staff that dealt wityh nus, even thosde that I sent to the cellar to get a pint of real cider that I had chosen.
