County Walk in Milborne Port

Jan, Marguerite, Barbara and I went over to Milborne Port for a lovely afternoon walk with W.I. members from all over Somerset - 40 in total. After a pub lunch we enjoyed a two and a half hour walk in the surroundings of Milborne Port - through a gorgeous field and copse which was brim full of cowslips, primroses, wild thyme, ground ivy, violets, red campions and even a few bluebells. On the way back we made our way along a river and at the top of the adjoining hill there were three or four cows, silhouetted against the blue sky. The idyllic English countryside! What a perfect shot for the Milk Mission competition (see previous post).... unfortunately I had left my camera at home, so you'll just have to use your imagination!
Once back in Milborne Port we were rewarded by a welcome cup of tea (or two) and the most scrumptious lemon cake! ( and a piece of coconut cake, too - but who's counting?)
