Well that was a most enjoyable way to spend the morning.

I got there and Ivor was already there and we were soon joined by Chris Kent, Tony Shardlow, Ken Haddon, Mick McClure, Mick Hazlewood, and Dave and Mandy Mitchell.

Yes indeed. Both A and B runs/walks met at the same cafe, as requested in the first post. Unfortunately the OP didn't turn up, even though we spent more than the usual time at the cafe waiting for him/her/both to turn up! Roads and pavements were treacherous but, so far as I know, there were no casualties :-)

Dropped a house brick on my foot at work this afternoon, it hit me on the head first. Does that count.

I said to myself, Oh dear that hurt !! Or words to that effect !!.

Saracens don't need much excuse

for a cuppa and a natter.

Just tell em where and when, and they appear,as if by magic.

Much more of this weather and it could become a regular venue.

A great morning spent in some very pleasant company.

thanks Ivor.

 

P.S. Tony, the river Rea rises in the waseleys

and runs under Longbridge (A38)

Yes Ivor, the Lickey Hills are the English equivalent of the continental divide. Waters flow south to the Bristol Channel and North to the north Sea. Not many people know that!

I really hope that's true because if it is it's a magnificent piece of trivia.

 

Actually apart from wanting it to be true I think it most likely is
