A lovely day saw Bob, Tony, Simon, Diane, Sabrina, Bernard, Graham and I meet at Morrisons, Weybridge for elevenses. Apart from a slight niggle over the huge difference in cost (but small difference in size) between large and medium coffees, this cafe is definitely the best value for elevenses in the area, and it has straightforward order-and pay-at-the-counter system unlike some local garden centres I could name!
Everyone was keen to get back out into the sunshine and we set off promptly towards Windlesham, where Ray Wren joined us. Despite a slightly circuitous route to Windlesham we had still arrived there in plenty of time to cover the additional few miles to The Kings Arms at Bagshot. Simon discovered this pub for us last year and it too serves capacious meals at very reasonable prices with quick, efficient service.
Bernard was all right, really, he was just resting his head! Suitably refreshed and with plenty of time in hand we headed for tea at Great Cockcrow for the first time this year. There have been some changes there and the friendly couple who have been serving us teas every summer since time immemorial have now departed. The cakes aren't quite as good now, but it would still be a good place to stop even without the trains!
Thanks all for your company and thanks to Graham for back-marking all day.
