Ride to Lavender Farm, Rainford.
Last Monday, August 19th, only 4 members of The Easy Riders reported to Maghull Station for a ride to The Lavender Farm, Rainford. The weather was not expected to be good. It was decided to vary our usual route and take Coach Road, thereby avoiding the traffic of The Rainford Bypass. All went fine on the outward journey, well nearly.
The return journey was partly new to us, there was some indecision over certain choices of route. Mostly we got it right, though one of us did take a tumble, and another did get a wasp in his helmet. The café had a sign saying ‘Closed’, but it wasn’t, a riot was avoided.
Quite a normal ride. Enjoyed by all.
Stunning, Superb Stained Glass
The Glass Workshop group epitomizes what the U3A really means; you have an idea, you find a course to get you started and you pass on your knowledge to others. John Jackson has a love of glass and a love of design; put them together and you have works of art.
