20/12/2019 Short walk 3 miles Cosby Littlethorpe Whetstone back tp Cosby.

It was raining hard so a short walk was called for, and of course with the Christmas bites to look forward to we had to find somewhere to sit and eat them.

Have had quite a lot of  flood warnings just like this one for the River Soar.

Flood warning

Areas affected: River Soar at caravan parks near Barrow upon Soar

ACTIVE

Started at: 07:51 GMT on Sat 21 December

Flooding is expected - immediate action required

The walk was in full waterproofs so everyone kept nice and dry. Unfortunately, there are no photos of the walk, too wet to get a camera out.

When we arrived back at Cosby we opened up the hall, the heating had already been put on so it was nice and cosy.

The cakes and nibbles came out and the coffee flowed.

A bit like our Christmas Munch again.

Got to thank our Man with the keys for organising the room and also those who provided the nibbles - what a spread!

One of the topics of conversation was the arrival of Willie and Sheila back from their Caribbean cruise.

Willie and Sheila always bring a few photos, especially photos with sunshine.

Here they are enjoying The Lion King on the flight out.

They both seemed to enjoy playing with the towel animals each evening.

Thanks to their carers they had a great time.

They must have caught the travel bug as they're off again soon on a train journey to Switzerland.
