Hornchurch v Kingstonian and Isthmian League Trophy Presentation

I went to the last Hornchurch game of the season, at home to Kingstonian, which they won. After the match we went on the pitch for the trophy ceremony for winning the league. A few photos from the day out are below, the rest are here:

Lunch at Launceston Place

While Siv headed down to Old Leigh for a girlie lunch at No.1 Cockleshed, I went into town to meet Graebags and Johnnie Leaver for a quick drink at The Builders Arms in Kensington before Lunch at Launceston Place. The food was very good, if a bit 'unusual'. Heading back we stopped for a drink at The Greyhound and The Astronomer before heading home.

Walk to see the bluebells in Wanstead

We went for a walk in Chalet Wood in Wanstead to see the annual display of bluebells. As ever a lot of people had turned up to see them. We walked back after having a coffee and cake at the tea hut. A few photos are below, the rest are here:

Hornchurch v Cray Wanderers

A group of us went to watch Hornchurch v Cray Wanderers tonight, the crowd of 310 was a lot less than the 900+ from Saturday, but a good match that Hornchurch won comfortably 2-0.

 

Wildlife over Fairlop and in The Garden

We went for a walk up to Forest Farm Shop for a coffee and a sandwich, and walking past the long lake we saw a Terrapin sunning itself. When we got home we did some gardening and moving some things I uncovered this Common newt who was hibernating under the bonfire bin.

 

Hornchurch are Champions !

A large group of us met in the Upminster Taproom befrore heading off to watch Hornchurch v Chatham. The 2-1 win means Hornchurch are Champions and are promoted and will play in the National League South next season. A few photos from the day are below, the rest are here:

Easter weekend in Whitstable

We're just back from an Easter weekend in Whitstable with a large group for a weekend of walks and fun. We spent time doing a long walk to Herne Bay on the Saturday as well as a walk along the West Beach on the Sunday (where we ended up at an outdoor party in The Rose in Bloom hosted by TH3 Funkateers). Altogether a great weekend. A few photos are below, the rest are here:
