Christmas Eve for the Hardy

Met up with the Bonfields for a lovely leg stretch out to Thomas Hardy’s cottage at Lower Bockhampton. Unfortunately Tom wasn’t in when we got there (last minute shopping run I expect) and he’d closed the tea room too. So we walked back past Kingston Maurward and George Singers beautiful old house for a very tasty Christmas Eve scampi and chips in the pub. We needed to be a bit Hardy for the last stretch back in the rain.
