The forecast for heavy rain failed to deter ten determined members to venture out on our planned run to Woodstock for lunch and viewing of the sculptures and gardens at Petana. Fortunately, the Weather-Gods took pity on us, proving the forecast wrong, with only a few spots of rain. We met at our usual spot at Milton’s Heritage

Bakery, 2 MX-5’s and two “sensible” cars. We moseyed on down the road to Milkhaus, a former cheese factory, where we met Kerry and Lesley, also in a “sensible” car. The ten of us enjoyed lunch in our own private room. Milkhaus is a wholefood café, using the “paddock to plate” philosophy, so common to restaurants in the area. Meals are prepared using fresh produce grown in their own vegetable

garden and eggs from the chickens in their back garden. We all agreed - delicious food and great service. On our way out, we decided to inspect the chicken coop, where our Bill managed to upset the rooster and peacock... please don’t ask! We’re sure the owners suspected that we, the innocent looking geriatrics, were stealing their eggs. Onwards to Petana in Morton, a lovely 12km long
