When the days are dark and damp, and the nights long, do you ever long to be outside in the fresh air. There is nothing like a good walk to get the blood flowing, and so in January members of the Thames Valley Centre ventured out to Basildon house and grounds, and, as it was such a nice day, what better way to get there than in their Morgans.
