Hatherop Tries out the Skate Park

Our latest Thursday evening adventure was a trip to the Skate Park at Cirencester

Hatherop does the old Canal

We took a little time out on Thursday evening to take a stroll along part of the Thames path at Cricklade and a disused/redundant section of the Thames Severn Canal. We started at the car park near the rugby ground.

In the River Again

First week back and the weather is so nice that we take a little walk down the river Coln and the lads couldn't resist having a paddle and experiencing for themselves just how cold the water still is.

Dobbies Take Two

We enjoyed the 1st visit, so we all went again !!!!

It's that time of year again. Mid winter break! (Christmas) So off shopping we will go. How wonderful Dobbies looked, very festive, loads of lights, trees and polar bears. We were lucky too, as we heard the bell ringers, listened to the carol singers and tasted some good cheese and mini mince pies.
