Classic British summertime weather today, with a forecast of a wet afternoon and thundershowers. Having been invited to a lunchtime BBQ, we decided to have an active start to our day and set out on a 5km jog. The temperatures were stifling and we arrived back completely overheating. After last night's snorkeling adventure and having just run home past the deserted, mirror calm and tranquil swimming spot, we got straight in the car and drove the two minutes back there. This time no wetsuits were required. It felt like being in an athlete's ice bath as I stood thigh-deep for a few minutes before diving in headfirst. The cooldown was lovely and tingled all over. Once sufficiently cold - which didn't take very long, we went straight back home for breakfast and blueberry smoothies. An invigorating start to the day!
The afternoon had another holiday vibe as we spent a brilliant few hours in a friend's garden, catching up on each others news over a delicious BBQ. It was incredible to realise that we hadn't actually seen each other since winter! As we arrived, the weather changed in true BBQ style. We left The Cottage where the temperature was a staggering (and possibly a record) 29.2 degrees. In the time it took to drive the few short miles over the mountain, we lost 12 degrees and rain had started falling! Thankfully, it stopped soon after and became wonderfully warm again.
Good times with good people. Looking forward to a bit more of this over the summer, as for the first time ever, it looks like we won't be too far away!
