 Hi everyone

 

I do wish all of you a good Christmas and all the best for 2022

 

The next “short walk” will take place on Friday 7th January starting at 10 am from Eling Tidal Mill.

 

Look forward to seeing you there



 I for my part have finally decided that  I need to change  something as my life moves on, so I wish to tell you all that the next Short Walk(Friday  7th January) from Eling Tidal Mill  will have to be the last one I lead for our wonderful Totton U3A.

 

 I am sure that there is someone who can  take over and so carry on our wonderful one hour walks,  please keep me posted.

 

All the very best to your all, and look forward to seeing you all at our next branch meeting on Wednesday 12th January 2022 !!!

Friday 3rd December A bit of a dull weather morning so not surprised that only 5 of us met together at Bolton’s Bench for a morning’s exercise. We struck out over the grassy plain for a few hundred yards before joining the well trodden path that we’ve walked many times before and avoiding puddles, ponies, and their deposits, as necessary. We carried on walking and chatting until about half an hour had passed and by then the sun had appeared and the air quite mild. Then it was time to turn back and we considered a slightly different route but decided it could be a bit boggy and so retraced our steps to the car park passing approaching walkers with their dogs and children with cheery “good mornings” and “hellos”. There were a couple of infants having a wonderful time jumping and splashing in a very muddy puddle, encouraged by their mother I may add. All too soon it was back in the cars to go home and we were all pleased that Mike had encouraged us out into the fresh air once again. Ken.
