The Wednesday walkers met at our house today and we took a footpath over a very muddy field.  We had to stop and take some of the mud off our boots, which were getting heavier and heavier and slowing  our pace.  When we got back we felt we deserved a cuppa and a biscuit and we spent more time nattering than we had done walking…..and I learnt quite a lot about village life and past miscreants who had spent time away at Her Majesty’s pleasure!
