Another Potluck Potter

We were back on home turf this Sunday in the heart of the village. The walkers headed off around the familiar Samford circuit, while the hobbling "runners" carried their various injuries off in another direction, pausing on the way home to inspect the (lack of) progress on the new Samford hostelry.

Back at the Farmers' Hall, Potluck (as usual) produced a lavish and varied feast. We are really fortunate to have so many great many cooks among us. And we all eat too much on these occasions. Thanks to all for your culinary contributions!

And thanks to Cash Converta for these pics:

Another big birthday

It was Trudi Fruti's turn to join the half-centenarians among us this Sunday, and she did it in style, with a magnificent meal and plenty of fizz!

Drizzly and cool conditions up on the mountain didn't deter the brave and foolish who headed out after B&W down a steep and rather soggy track. A number of others, however, elected to take up Swami Miss Demeanour's offer of a hot yoga session around the fire. The wet expeditioners then joined the dry homebodies in the comfortable indoors for some very succulent wagyu brisket and a varied selection of salads - yum! Many thanks to our hares for their hospitality and the luscious nosh!

Yoga (and CPR):

Birthday cake followed, and a birthday down, down in a rather large glass:
