Next mid week run has a change of start location so PLEASE TAKE NOTE.

Lavender & Lupins Wednesday 12th June 

Meeting 9.30am Sainsbury’s, Longwater, NR5 0JS

Initial run of just over an hour to our coffee stop and opportunity to stretch our legs at Norfolk Lavender.

Followed by a short run to West Acre Gardens, a member’s recommendation and a place I’ve not visited so looking forward to this.

Light lunches are available at these gardens, then we can going looking for the Lupins, well it sort of went with Lavender in the title.

I have planned a return route but of course you may wish to leave earlier or make your own way more directly back.

Have attached route instructions which you can print off or work out and input into a satnav. You’ll see that I’m using the dreaded A47 but not for too long.

Cheers David

Well done and thanks to those who turned out for the Lavender & Lupins run. Forecast looked dire but we set off with tops down and that was good for both the run to Heacham and then after coffee and break also the run to West Acre Gardens. It started raining right at the end of our look around the garden and nursery. West Acre Garden is to be highly recommended for a well stocked nursery of healthy plants at reasonable prices a must visit for any gardener/lover of plants. We left in various directions for our trips home by then the rain had set in so tops were up but what a smashing (nothing broken) day out - had to take the appropriate photo

Cheers David

West Acre is really nice - went there last weekend in the MX5 and came away with three rose bushes and various small plants . Don’t ask we did it… Looked like a mobile window box…! Definately a good visit for gardeners…

David,

Sorry to be a pain but I can’t see any improvement in the weather for Wednesday

Not much fun in the rain, so I think I will be staying in the dry and darning my socks.

 

Hope I’m wrong

Jim,
Darn it! The weather not your socks. How about knitting a pair of door mirror covers? Hopefully you don’t wear socks with sandals.
I’ve a feeling others may ‘cry off’. We’ll see how folk feel tomorrow morning. Although our Krazy Horse run was in the wet and we had a great outing but a garden in the wet is not the same as bikes & Morgans in the dry.

See you,

David
