30th April 2025

What a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. I think everyone enjoyed the view of the sea from the lane to Hilton Court. We met for coffee outside the cafe, overlooking the lovely gardens. We walked round the grounds at our own pace and had a little sit whenever we felt the need. Little chats were held at various points. Listening to the stream as it flowed under the bridge and visiting the peaceful private garden were other treats and then we all met up again for lunch, mostly outside. Cheryl showed us some ‘before’ photos and we were able to visit Mark, the potter, perhaps for the last time before he retires in September. Whether we had been there many times, or were experiencing the peaceful atmosphere for the first time, it was a good trip out.
