Cockington Green and lunch at George Harcourt Inn

Thursday 19 May 2022

For once, our outing didn't go exactly as it was originally planned. Due to a late reduction in participant numbers we deferred the Cockington Green component of the day. We will look at going at a later date.

A group of us still met for lunch at the George Harcourt Inn at Gold Creek. Given it was quite a cold day, we were lucky to be seated inside beside the cosy wood fire. Everyone in our group seemed to have the same idea of ordering 'cold weather' plates from the menu. The food was plentiful and tasty and we had a nice time catching up.

 


 

Lunch at Honeysuckle at Denman Prospect

Thursday 21 April 2022

Our April outing was to Honeysuckle, Denman Prospect’s local pub. Six members gathered for lunch. Everyone enjoyed the food on offer and the cosy catch up. It was lovely weather and our sunny, indoor table had a great view of the earthworks being done for yet another housing development on the next hill.

The venue was a lovely spot across from the Miniature Railway at Weston Park on the edge of the lake. We spread out across the 4 large tables under cover BBQ.

Christmas in July - 30 July 2021

Christmas in the northern hemisphere sounds whimsical with tales of snow and yule logs, whilst here in Australia we have to settle for ice in our drinks. We brought our imagination with us for a Christmas lunch in July at Vikings Town Centre
