Friday afternoon saw the last 'broadcast' of this week's run of online teaching on the hottest day we've had so far. Once all the de-briefing was done, we jumped on the bikes and set off up the valley to the swimming hole. It's not far away, so we peddled extra hard to maximize our exercising time.
We were not sure if April would be too early for a dip, but the water was crystal clear and so inviting, so we made a brief stop. We soon cooled down! Freezing but refreshing.
It didn't take long to dry off - just before the sun dipped below the mountains. As we were about to leave, we heard to the cuckoo for the first time this year. It must have been very close, but we didn't see it. Swallows were also flying up and down the river.
Then we got back on our way, enjoying the views as we made our way home.
We had to keep out big jackets on to stay warm on the return journey!
Back at The Cottage, we enjoyed outside pre-dinner drinks and finished the day by biving in the back garden, so that we could watch the stars again. Super happy.
