We have not had any rain for at least six weeks, it was saving itself for the Monday Club BBQ arranged by Wendy and John. The morning had started overcast, then light rain and it was pouring down by the time we arrived at 4pm. It had been planned to sit outside, so all the chairs and tables had to be moved indoors.
John had to move the BBQ through the house onto the front naya, and he was soon busy cooking for the 14 of us. Despite the weather and the change in arrangements he did us proud.
Not only did Wendy have to deal with the weather, and the change in seating and table arrangements, but she also had to manage it all with a broken arm. Just a week ago she had fallen whilst on holiday, resulting in a lot of time spent in Valencia and Denia hospitals. She was very brave, and insisted that it hardly hurt at all!
At the end of our last Monday Club walk in May, Wendy invited the group to a BBQ at her house just before the start of the autumn walks. It was the last time we had all met, and we were really looking forward to seeing everyone again and hearing all the news of their summer activities.
Bob and Janet share a joke, but Barry seems a bit uncertain about the whole thing
Jan and Janet make the best of “ladies first” to get the pick of the large amount of food on offer.
Despite the weather we all had a great time. Good company, good food, lots of drink and no shortage of chat. Well done and thanks for an excellent BBQ to Wendy and John.
Next Walk
The first walk of the autumn season will be on Monday 11 October . Meet in the Masymas car park in Javea at 1000. The walk will be similar to our last walk in May. Pat did tell me the details, but that was after I had knocked back quite a few glasses of wine so I am doing quite well to remember the date and place.
I’m envious…the 11th (today) is my birthday. I’ll think of you on your walk. Luckily the weather in Cornwall is splendid this morning (we’ve had an ocean of rain recently) so we’ll be off for a walk on the moor later ourselves.

Hi Peter
ReplyDeleteSorry its taken me so long to post your comments. I normally only look at this blog when I am undating it, so I saw it for the first time today.
As you can see we had another successful walk yesterday. We had expected rain, but it seemed to have stayed well out to sea.
I miss our walks on Cornish Coastal Path. We have spent many happy holidays there. And UK is hard to beat when you have the weather. Unfortunately you do not have it as often as one would like.
