		What's all this?
		It's not often that we have to pause a walk whilst an aeroplane lands but we do today!
		Parking the 'plane in its garage
		Nearly lunch time now as we return into Badminton
		Celandines
		Like the terracotta colour
		A visiting blacksmith shoes a horse
		An interesting place architecturally - what are they looking at up ahead?
		A couple of gardens with many fascinating inhabitants

		As you can see, we thoroughly enjoy getting to know the South Cotswolds. We try to keep fit and succeed in having a good old chat. If you are interested in coming with us, see our walks programme and ring the leader if you have any questions about a particular walk. After two or three walks we hope you will then want to join the group as part of the national Ramblers' Association.
