Just returned from a great weekend based at the Spreadeagle Inn at Stourton. Sunshine throughout and a group of cheerful and interesting walkers - what more could a walk leader ask for?
As usual, Angela and Andrew provided the warmest of welcomes and great food. The scallops were especially good, as were the steaks.
The walks were at their best. Spring has arrived in Wiltshire - the recent mild weather has dried out the paths; carpets of snowdrops are everywhere, the crocuses are opening, the wild daffodils are beginning to show through.
We saw hares and roe deer in the fields on White Sheet Hill, cormorants in the branches at Shearwater, herons and crested grebes on the lake. The famous gardens at Stourhead are springing into life.
We completed the weekend in fine style with an excellent Sunday lunch at the Spreadeagle. Roll on the 'bluebell weekend' over the early May bank holiday!
