A stroll along the prom, prom, prom

A Sunday afternoon visit to Sandgate has long been a Brisbane tradition:

And we joined the crowds keeping the tradition alive as we met near where the above photo was taken, and joined the crowds for a traditional stroll along the promenade. The sea breeze was fresh and invigorating, the rain held off, and as darkness fell we were treated to some great views of the moon over the water (thanks to Floater and Snappy for the pics):



What a great meal our hares Make an Offer and Banger put on! Really generous servings of ham (with traditional English mustard), a wonderful selection of no less than four salads, and home-made brownies to follow! Many, many thanks to them!

Here are some more of Snappy's photos from the occasion.

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:




Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 1st March, 5 pm
Where: Flinders Parade near the junction with Second Avenue, Sandgate. A map!
