Saturday. The first day of the late May bank holiday weekend, and the weather is amazing. Got out for an early walk when the air was cooler, though even at 06:30, when I set off, it was 17°C and the sun was already high in the sky. I walked along Singledge Lane to the Crossing, then extended the walk with a circuit of Coldred Road, Long Lane, Mill Lane, and Little Haynes, returning to the Crossing and onwards, back to Whitfield: about 11km in total. I took it at a brisk pace that was hard-going at times, but it’s good cardio. I had a slightly mad moment in the early hours and signed myself up for the Pilgrims Hospices ‘Pilgrim’s Way Challenge’ on June 20th, so I will need all the training I can get! Back home, a long cold drink, a coffee, and then I fell asleep for a quick nap on the patio sofa.
In the afternoon, we took advantage of the weather and had a lovely barbecue with spicy-rubbed chicken, veggie skewers, corn on the cob, and homemade burgers that Raff & I prepped a few hours earlier. V made a huge Greek salad and new potatoes to go with it. Relaxed in the evening sunshine with the gang before getting in-game for the final part of the evening.
