Halfway to Sewstern I had to walk through the Buckminster Gliding Club. I nearly got run down by a taxiing light plane. Further on I found the club's buildings and idly wondered if they had a café, a fanciful notion, but as I approached feeling a little trespassy a guy appeared and I sort of joked and hinted about the café. I was promptly ushered inside and a cup of tea was made for me and I bought two choccy bars and made an appropriate donation to their honesty box. I had interesting chat with various members. This is an old WW2 RAF station and steeped in the history of its resident squadrons. That was all a memorable visit which I inexplicably missed when writing up my post today.

ReplyDeleteIt might prove useful for your next trek.
These offers of tea are just becoming so common place that they're slipping your mind as an event now!
ReplyDeleteThe Crow - thanks for that Martha. I will look more closely when I get home. I'm on the train at the mo.

Gayle - i wasn't sure if that one counted. It was hardly unsolicited.
