Change of meeting times in 2016
To fit in with a number of other groups, namely, Walking, Architecture for Fun, and Discussion/Debating, the Foodie Group have agreed to meet/go out on the third Thursday in the month from 2016. Taking this approach means that members can attend all four groups if they want, as they will now meet on a different Thursdays in the month – a win win situation for all.
Mowgli, the house of the tiffin, is all about the fresh reality of Indian home cooking, unplugged. This is a million miles away from the curry house experience. Mowgli dishes follow the Hindu tradition of garlic and onion free dishes for lunch. They are low fat, gluten free, high in natural antioxidants and free from any artificial ingredients.
Foodie Group at Heathcotes
20 members attended a cooking demonstration at Heathcotes in Preston. Members of the Foodie group and friends made their way to Preston on the train and enjoyed the delights of Spanish Tapas as well as sampling three different wines. This was followed by a lunch which included dishes from the demonstration. This is the second time we have been to Heathcotes. We will continue our round the world trip when we have lunch at the Indian Street food restaurant Mowgli in Bold Street LiverpoolWednesday 28th October.
Last week a group of Easy Riders tackled our longest ride to date – all of 25 miles! We took the train to Hooton on the Chester line. The first section took us along the Wirral way past the preserved railway station at Willaston and on to Parkgate where we we stopped for a coffee break.
Suitably refreshed we joined the Wirral Way and continued to West. Kirby. – 15 miles covered so far. Two members had to leave here but the rest of us carried on after a leisurely break down at the coast.
We then joined the coast route through Hoylake, Moreton, Leasowe and finally New Brighton. The head wind on the last leg made it very hard work and we realised we wouldn’t get to the ferry in time so had a short break before pushing our bikes up the hill to the station.
Great day out. John Ramsden

My first task every few days is to cut back the hanging baskets. Remove all dead foliage to encourage another display of flowers. They may be not as vigorous in growth but dead heading foliage will encourage more flowers before the frost comes. Continue reading
