Our December Afternoon Run was well attended with 16 members setting off from Five Lanes in bright sunny weather. We were pleased to welcome young Jamie Spence (accompanied by Father Spence) who has not been out for twelve months – curiously, tea was at Colin’s on that occasion as well!

Taking the lanes through Collaton St Mary we made our way to Stoke Gabriel at a fair pace. The quayside was in shade when we arrived, but the church on the hill was bathed in sunshine and made in impressive sight.

On the homeward route through Waddeton, temperatures dropped rapidly and some of the youngsters were soon suffering badly from the cold. Richard had to be escorted home but the rest of us met back at Colin’s for a sumptuous tea and snooker – many thanks. Funny isn’t it, but I could have sworn that Antony, Colin and Kevin had not been with us earlier in the day!
