Amongst other topics we discussed were the frantic departures from last weeks run, in which the same trio blitzed homeward from Bakers Hill. None of us outran the rain but each had a unique great escape story, which was worthy of mention. Then we pondered the fate of the penguins, whose numbers have dwindled from thousands, to only hundreds, in the matter of only ten years (and commenting on Madeleine King's assertion that climate change is the reason!) After making a significant dent in the cafe's supply of apple/cinnamon muffins, we beat a retreat back to home, in time to light the first log fire of the year.
