After the first full team weekend in France,
it was the turn of the French half of the team to visit their English teammates
over Easter.
Michele and Jackie (accompanied by Philippe,
Michele’s husband) dutifully rendezvoused in Godalming for 2 days of warm up
walks around the Surrey countryside and our first test walk across the South
Downs.
Day 1 (Friday) was a spectacular tour of the
Devils Punchbowl and its surrounding countryside, the highlights being Gnome
Cottage ...
wild ponies ...
and a James Bond film set!
Michele very quickly revealed her hitherto
unknown love of trees, which required us to stop every five minutes to take a
photo of the latest arboreal wonder…
Sally kept us entertained with her
encyclopaedic knowledge of the area, and regaled us with a story of dastardly
deeds in the graveyard of Thursley. To top it off the weather was fantastically
warm.
