Having during the last few days stocked up to bursting with Christmas festive fare and basic comestibles, Jackie discovered that she had run out of salt so we stopped at Stopples Lane Co-op to buy some.
Carefully packed into a thin strip of a terrace garden at the corner of the shopping precinct lay a delightful Christmas display on which I was able to focus during Jackie’s time in the shop.
Traffic slowed as it passed a horse rider guiding another animal. You will see that she was more respectful of cars than were many cyclists.
Ponies on the moor alongside Holmsley Passage basked over their breakfast.
Defensive cyclists on such as Crow Hill made sure that we, even if we had a mind to, would not attempt to pass them. This seems more offensive than defensive to me.
Further along ponies foraged in the sheltered woodland,
while field horses in Hightown were lit by the sun.
This being Flo’s birthday, we all dined with Becky and Ian at La Quilla where we had as enjoyable a time as always, with excellent food, brilliantly served in as friendly a manner as usual.
