The last few days have been gorgeous. Light winds, blue skies and no clouds. Correspondingly this years produce of potatoes, beans, spinach, courgettes, tomatoes, coriander, basil and parsley have started to really grow.
Yesterday evening we had a little picnic on Hilly Fields. I stopped off at Sainsburg’s on the way home and bought some wine, cheese, antipasti and other nibbles. We also took Jake’s new mini-football, which I purchased along with a flying ring last Saturday in Blackheath.
Jake loves kicking the ball around and throwing it “high in the sky”, as he says.
It was nice to relax on the grass with the sun on our faces. Jake kept saying “Mummy watch me!” and “Daddy watch me!” while running very fast up and down.
This morning I had a manic cycle to Waterloo. I left at 6.45am and had to hammer it to get the 7.20am train to Reading. I’m afraid I may have jumped a couple of red lights(slaps wrist). When I got to Waterloo I decided to lock my bike up on platform 19 as the racks next to the station entrance were overflowing. This turned out to be a good move as all I had to do after locking the bike was to run across the platform and hop on :-).
