No. 4 in the ‘Colloquy’ series
We coddiwompled in the mud up at Barcombe Mills all eight of us together amidst the Sussex hills The rain held off but underfoot the mud was thick and wet but we all had the best of times so never cause to fret The Anchor Inn was closed but we really didn't mind as this was just the perfect walk coddiwompling here to find
