9 June 2026 (Tuesday) - Rushbrooke

The dogs were asleep, but the sun was rather bright through the curtains. Being wide awake I got up and did the geo-admin for the last two days until the cottage’s wi-fi died unexpectedly at seven o’clock. Hurrah for my mobile and its mobile hotspot facility, eh?
As I logged our thirty-odd geo-finds I looked out at a glorious morning which sadly wasn’t forecast to last much past brekkie time
 
After brekkie we looked at the weather forecast for the ten thousandth time and decided to take a chance. We drove up to the Rushbrooke Arms where I banged on the door and had a word with the nice man. He said that my plan of using their car park, going for a walk and coming back to his pub for lunch was a good one, so that’s what we did.
As always our walk was laid out for us by a series of geocaches. Perhaps spread out a little too much for my liking, and perhaps a little too much on roads, but all things considered it was a very good walk. Geocaching-wise far better than the frankly impossible hides we’d struggled with earlier in the week.
And apart from a minor shower the weather held for us too.
 
After four miles we were back at the pub where we had a very good bit of dinner. Bang Bang Cauliflower – no, I’d never heard of it before either, but I would certainly have it again.
 
We drove back to base where we jigsaw-ed. I say “we”; I had a kip. As the afternoon wore on the weather alternated between glorious sunshine and thunderstorms and hailstorms.
We had a few pints, and a very good dinner of bread and oils and halloumi and olives, and the 3-D Blokus came out too.
 
I took a few photos today. And I had a bit of an early night… A rather lazy day had been rather tiring…
