It was obvious right from the start that today was going to be a good one weather wise, but not even I was initially optimistic to imagine that it would be a day for sitting out in the sun.
However, the heat became obvious even while I was performing a couple of minor tasks. I needed to get some new washing up liquid and also to establish whether my mobile phone was finally beyond all assistance (it was, so I bought another cheap PAYG handset, and retained my existing number by putting the old SIM card into the new phone), and these tasks achieved I decided it was time for a walk and set out along the bank of the Great Ouse.
I continued on beyond the point at which I normally leave the river bank and beyond the A47 and Palm Paper, finally turning away from the water at Tail Sluice, walking through Saddlebow, and hitting the Nar Valley Way to head back into the centre of town. Having shed my jumper part way through the walk, I had lunch outside and spent the afternoon enjoying the sun (the jumper has just gone back on, as the sun is no longer a factor, and I am back inside).
I have some photographs from the walk, which are below…
