We had planned to go for an outdoor brekkie this week but believe it or not it was actually raining when we set out so change of plans. We went to Botley to Delicieux Cafe.
We both chose the Rustique Breakfast at £5.50 each which was the small version of full English and included toast and coffee. Value for money was very good but was not one of our best. You can view the full menu here. I wasn't too keen on the sausage, unusual flavour and slightly undercooked. I actually prefer a traditional pork sausage. Bacon could have been crisper and the toast was only barely coloured.
Just my opinion but was nicely presented and reasonably priced.
After breakfast we collected Peggy from Jan's and Jessie from mine and drove down to Swanwick Shore Road. Plan was to walk along to Universal Marina and grab a coffee at the coffee shop and water for the dogs. But, when we got there the coffee shop has gone. We walked across the Marina and discovered that there is a new restaurant recently opened called Bistro8. which we believe will be serving breakfasts. Another one for us to try out at a later date.
We continued with our walk along the shore and came across a field with about 15 donkeys and 3 Llamas. All of them very friendly and several came running over to the fence. Not a bit phased by the dogs even though Peggy was giving them a bit of lip.
We continued along the shore and went into Holly Hill for a bit of shade and so that the dogs could paddle and get a drink from the stream.
Really nice walk, 3.3 miles. If you would like to try it just follow this link for the map. Enjoy!!
Can't guarantee all the donkeys and llamas will still be there but hopefully so.
Polly wasn't able to come with us as a bit too far for her wobbly legs and on Saturday she goes for her hydrotherapy session at Richmond Canine Hydrotherapy Centre
That's all for this week, we'll think of something else to next time
