John writes: Sunday afternoon was a perfect day for a Winter cycle ride – brilliant sunshine, neither wind nor precipitation and temperature hovering a few degrees below zero. Only two riders, John M and Mike CC from Over joined me. Already forewarned about ice by Nigel and that none of the day-riders would be at tea I called The Chestnut Tree who agreed to provide tea from 3:30 p.m. and only charge for the three riders. This was possible because they had not yet made any preparations but could not guarantee this for future visits. This was my first visit to the pub since its reopening. It was a splendid tea-stop with ample sandwiches, cakes, tea and coffee. We should definitely reuse this.
