Soon to be departing and by definition
some socialising to be done, I didn't baulk at the fact that there was a
chance to meet John Gifford and his sister Maggie for a pint at lunch
time at the Coach & Horses in Winterbourne Abbas. Walking to town to
get the bus, I was amazed at the number of small birds in attendance
given the overnight 'storm force' wind and torrential rain, as even the
humans were waterlogged!
Goldcrests
still abound in the cemetery while on Pottery Lane a pair of STONECHAT,
absent hereabouts for a couple of ;years now, were showing well along
with a good number of Log-tailed Tits.

There
I met Leslie and John Gifford then headed off to meet his sister at the
afore mentioned pub. Before galloping off on the 4th African visit, I
can recommend to the readership this pub where service is paramount,
beverages are 'kept' at their very best and the food is gastronomic -
pay a visit soon!
