We were blessed with both a guide (Norma) and a troubadour (Brian). Norma filled us in with all the relevant facts about the castle and hermitage, whilst Brian treated us to three musical interludes. These were tunes he'd composed for Warkworth Pageant in the 1980s and 90s.
It was a lovely summer evening which we rounded off with a drink at the Sun Inn at the end of the walk.
This weeks social gathering was held at the St Cuthberts Parish Hall, where leader Liza Cole welcomed the attendees. Twenty eight people attended, and for many of them this was a new experience for them.
The hour-long gong bath flew by. Afterwards, once people came too, they were treated to hot drinks and cakes supplied by Myra and Jackie.
A lovely relaxing time was had by all. A big thank you to Liza for her expertise and for travelling down to lead the evening.
There will be music in the Church every day & tea/coffee/cake will be served in the village hall. As well as having a walk around the village and looking at the scarecrows, there will be stalls, raffle, tombola etc too. Parking is on the village green.
It's somewhere to go over the bank holiday if it's a nice day and folk are stuck for something to do, without having to travel too far.
