To celebrate the occasion, the members at Timble had arranged a walk, barbecue and then the evening service to which people from around the Otley and Burley areas were invited.
There was an exhibition of the 175 years of Methodist in the Robinson Library in the village which is the first of the pictures below.
We walked from the village north eastwards past Book End Farm (explanation later) and down towards Swinsty Reservoir, through Nether Timble and up High Lane before turning westwards to return back up to the village past High Field Farm and a number of old cottages (many of them now converted and modernised).

Book End Farm. This is owned by the Austick family who own a chain of book shops in West and North Yorkshire, hence the name.

We had two cakes with our tea. This is the first which is for our friends Leslie and Gwynneth who are due to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary next month but who wanted to share the occasion with everyone present a few weeks early.
