The foodie group met today for our annual summer picnic, once again hosted by Brenda in her lovely garden. As can be seen, we had a tremendous spread of food, both savoury and desserts, all made by group members. Food was devoured, the drinks flowed, there was a buzz of good conversation and we were lucky to have such a lovely sunny day after the overnight rain. Thank you Brenda for allowing us to invade your garden and I hope we cleaned up properly!  Thanks also  to all the group members for their contributions through the year and we will meet again at our usual venue on 20th September.

Several of the Pedal Pushers, plus a couple of Easy Riders, met today from various points of Maghull at Robins Bridge, and rode to Scarisbrick Marina, a distance of just over 16 miles for a return trip. The day started pleasantly warm with lovely sunshine, and we cycled along country lanes, admiring the crops watching the farmers bring in their harvests, and sat in the sun at the Marina to enjoy a drink. The Marina was very busy with many boats moored there, along with some very interesting house boats which stay there as a  permanent base.  Continue reading →
