Neighborhood adventure

Today we worked hard to try and finish up the deck (didn't quite get there), and had the added incentive of meeting up with Cat and Bruno to go on a bit of an adventure which would involve dinner. We played with a few different ideas, but in the end decided to take a nearby public footpath that most of us had never been on and walk the longish way to the Red Lion for dinner.

The path was "a little bit" overgrown with stinging nettle and thistles, and most of us were wearing shorts and sandals. Rhodri took on the task of trying to use a stick to machete the offending plants out of the way.  We got out of the nettles and had to go through a field of fierce looking sheep!

 

 Eventually we got to the pub and by then we definitely felt as though we had earned a refreshing beverage! We sat outside for awhile in the lovely weather, and actually some of our other neighborhood friends joined us for a bit. Then when it was time for food, we moved indoors. We had a great meal here actually, and all too soon the night was over.

Another great Saturday in the Gate!
