Despite the weather forecast for rain 8 of us gathered to enjoy a walk through the Thwaites Estate. We exchanged “Hello’s” with a few walkers as we progressed. This is a popular walk in the winter; most of the time, you are on the estate roads. These are closed to public traffic. Except for the occasional farm vehicle, they are quiet. As we walked, the first Snowdrops of the year were spotted just beginning to bud.
Not sure how Richard organises the weather, but as we returned to our cars, the first spots of rain fell, and the afternoon’s rain started. This was our cue to retire to The Heathcote for Lunch.
