Art fund members are free to enter Audley End House and Gardens
Art fund members free - very good news - thank you
N=6 of us on this walk in this gentle arable area of the country. The weather was W=lovely
Such a gentle walk that nothing of note happened throughout the walk which I found very agreeable - ideal for rumination and quiet chat.
Three of us lunched at 8 Bells (one was severely disappointed with his burger, too dry to swallow. My father would have said ‘I would rather be shot than poisoned).
One with an English Heritage pass visited Audley End but us non members were somewhat parsimonious and walked on to Wendens Ambo for tea at the Fighting Cocks before catching the slow and wonderful for sleeping train back to the smoke.
Greta walk - thanks all
