The Strollers Group enjoyed a pleasant walk around the Art Trail at Patchings Farm Art Centre near Calverton .
We were sorry to hear the place is up for sale and its future is unsure.
The photo shows the Monet Bridge which is unfortunately in bad repair and the lake is very overgrown but still a pretty site.
There was the usual Coffee Stop at the café on site.
Well worth a visit!
A local walk from Titchfield Park through to Bulwell Hall Golf Club via Farleys Lane was the choice for our latest venture.
It was a little longer than expected but everyone enjoyed the walk and chat, (and the coffee at the Golf Club was welcome too!)
Details of our next walk will follow.
For our June walk we strolled round Papplewick Woods and made our way via the River Leen to the site of the old Papplewick Lido, it’s interesting to stay local and learn some interesting facts both from signage on the route and a member of our group who has a lot of local knowledge!
We called in at the Griffins Head for cool drinks on our way back to the car park.
Another lovely walk.
On a beautiful Spring morning our Strollers group alighted from the tram for a walk through the Arboretum and round to the Forest where we were able to sit outside and enjoy a coffee in the excellent coffee shop.
It was interesting to see the aviaries are still standing in the Arboretum, including a memorial plaque to Cocky the Cockatoo who lived to a ripe old age, most of us remembered him from our childhood visits!
Another lovely walk!
On a beautiful sunny day a group of us enjoyed a pleasant stroll around Colliers Wood calling in at Reuben Shaws Coffee Shop en route.
Some of our members had not been here before but will no doubt happily make a return visit.
