Leisure at Limmer Pond

P1010364 P1010365It will be three years come June since we were last at Limmer Pond Nursery, Aldingbourne. And like then we went to The Prince of Wales, Woodgate for our Friday night dinner.
This year we were joined by past members Sue, Mark and Karen who made our party 13 strong. It was therefore strange to be greeted by the landlady with “You only booked for ten.” A figure the rally officer didn’t recognize, more especially as the pub had asked for the meal order by the previous Tuesday – which was for 13 main courses! Most pubs would welcome some additional customers, for which there was ample room.
Having said that it is a delight to get a home made meal in a pub and the chicken pie at £9.50 was a delight. The young ladies serving were charming which made up for our strange welcome.
We put the Event Canopy to good use erecting it on Saturday to accommodate the six tables easily and keep us out of the northerly wind. It was also useful for the coffee morning on Tuesday, when there were spots of rain.
The site owner was unaware of Natural England’s change of policy regarding more than one rally being held on the same site, provided they are carefully delineated. May be other site owners are equally unaware for the rule change.
