March Ramble

The next ramble will be on Thursday 2nd March, and will be an 8.5 mile circular walk following the War Horse route from Ormskirk via Lathom Chapel. The walk is flat and follows quiet paths, some busier country lanes and fields.  Regular ramblers have been notified of start point, but if any new members wish to join the group please contact me for information. ( pollypaws46@gmail.com). Please note this is a change to the advertised walk which cannot take place due to leaders injury.

The next subject ’Pens,Pencils and Brushes’  on Monday 6th March.

Hello everyone. Gardening is not far away, especially planning the garden. No doubt we all lost some of our favourite plants, l lost 50% of my tropical collection and the remaining ones that survived l am waiting for a sign of new growth.
We should be noticing an improvement next month so it’s a good time now to find a nice day and dig over the border lift and divide clumps of perennials. Any spare we could exchange between ourselves especially as we are going to notice a big rise in prices at the garden centres. l have ordered some new seed varieties l am going to sow hopefully I will share them with you .
