What a lovely day today was.
I arranged to meet my friend at the Rising Sun in Stockcross for lunch. On arrival it was shut. The web site said it would be open. Not to worry. It was a nice mild day so I sat on a picnic table at the front and waited. My friend was coming from Slough and got the post code from the website, put it in her sat nav and set off. The pub is owned by WestBerks Brewery so she ended up there by mistake. Easily done. She phoned to say it's lovely here but I think I am in the wrong place!
I had a nice walk round and twenty minutes later S turned up and we put plan B into operation.
Wonderful falafels and service were had at the Five Bells at Wickham. A favourite haunt of the West Berks CAMRA crowd.
The next part of the plan was Ashdown House, further up the B4000, past Lambourne and into Oxfordshire.
Find out more about it here.
We discovered little as it was closed. I have I horrible feeling I misread the website. Quite funny to have all these misunderstandings in one day.
Not to worry. An Indian Summer was going on and S was bowled over by the countryside; Ridgeway area. We had a walk instead and got totally lost in the woods. We eventually found the B4000 and headed up it for a mile back to the car.
We now have a plan to visit the property again in the spring.
Looking forward!
