Sunday

 Morning, everyone.  It's a wet and mild start to the day and there's a bit of wind.  It may very well be a day for staying in and counting my blessings although you never know.

Yesterday turned out absolutely beautiful.  Yes, it was cold, starting with that frost I expected and not really warming up very much until a lot later but the sun shone, the sky was clear and blue and it was wonderful.

By the time I got into the car to drive to Tower Gardens where the walk was starting, the frost had gone but it was still jolly chilly so I wrapped up very warm.  There were seven of us doing the walk yesterday, all but one of us from Jen's Friday SW group.  The other was a husband and a very pleasant chap he was too.

It was the same walk as last time - along the river from Tower Gardens, through Admiral's Park and into Central Park where the coffee shop provides a really nice and warming cup of coffee.  Then it's back round the 'lake' and along the river again.  All of this runs parallel to one of the main roads into town but most of the way you'd never know.

The bird-life on the lake was very active and a couple of us had bought bird food from the cafe (must do that next time) to attract them, causing great excitement. I did wish I had remembered my camera as they were very bold and there were also some swans that are much easier to snap as they move so slowly (usually).
It really was a delightful time and I am looking forward to the next one, in a fortnight's time.

I spent the rest of the day doing little bits and bobs and generally - well, I was going to say 'chilling' but actually it was quite the opposite because when I got in I really was rather cold, chilled to the bone as they say, so I snuggled under the heated fleece and went to sleep!!

Just a really nice day.

Today is much the same but without the walk.  I will see what the weather does before I decide to go out or not but I will probably go into the shed and get the smaller freezer defrosted, something I have been planning to get done for ages.  Then there's washing to finish off, dry and ironing to get done and I might even get one of those cupboards sorted out, you never know.  Fingers crossed!

Have a super day, whatever your plans.  xx
