Last Friday our walkers were led by Christine Orange on a 5 mile route around around Moors Valley Country Park. Seventeen of us joined in and we saw parts of Moors Valley which we hadn’t seen before! It was a varied walk with lots of points of interest as the photos show! Not all of us felt it was ice cream weather but David couldn’t resist.
Clare Clayton guided 18 of us around Knighton Heath in glorious sunshine. We had a coffee break whilst taking in far reaching views towards Poole. It was a little muddy underfoot but it didn’t spoil the beautiful walk in excellent company.
Our Crafting for Fun group recently enjoyed an afternoon of glass painting. The session was led by Cin and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The next session will be making Easter vases using felt and embroidery.
This Term some of our crafters have been trying their hands at “NEEDLE FELTING.” Needle felting is a craft that involves repeatedly stabbing a needle into a piece of wool in order to stiffen and shape it into the desired form.
It is becoming a popular method for creating small animal figures since the texture of the felted creations resembles an animal’s fur.
Thank you Carole for organing a fun afternoon.
Seventeen of us set off from Tuckton Tea Rooms on Friday 17th January heading off to Mudeford Spit. The weather was fair and spirits were high. We passed Wick Fields and Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve en route. We walked over the headland to take in the superb views of Christchurch Harbour, Mudeford Spit, Bournemouth and the Purbecks. We had a welcome coffee break on the Spit before we headed back on the lower road. Nearly 6 miles later we arrived back to the car park, exhilarated and with muddy boots!
