Tea with Mother Hen 29

Big change in the weather, cloudier skies, and the wind has veered round from NE to blowing from the south which has shoved the temperature up quite a few degrees.  Enough for me to leave the long johns off! (Too much information.  I know).  Get some miles on the clock to add to the weekly total so going out to Wrington for tea and a toasted tea cake at the Mother Hen Cafe.

A good ride out to Wrington, blown along the A370 to Congresbury, and in Wrington took a little deviation up Chapel Lane to do a bit of exploring.  At the top of the steep lane there was, surprise surprise, a chapel. A quaint little church  a  Methodist chapel. The horse rider came along nicely to add a bit of interest to the picture.  A nice downhill stretch then to the Mother Hen cafe for tea and a toasted tea cake.  

Chew Valley Scarecrow Trail

I think the definition of a scarecrow is getting lost in Translation somewhere.  This is a blue and gold cow, with an Egyptian headress on.  As far removed from a scarecrow as you can get.  Amusing though.  Got this just in time, an Old Git told me I could find this in the lane that leads up to Churchill from Sandford and the notice says the competition finishes tomorrow.  

The ride home to Weston was not too bad from here on in.  The wind was sheltered by the Mendips and tall hedges to a degree.  A comfortable 29 miles covered in all.  104 miles for the week.
