The recent short but sweet heatwave has brought on the allotment produce (first courgette frittata last night) we've had overnight rain which thanks to the tree canopy has not penetrated my off road cycling tracks which are as dry as bone and this week Guildford lido was almost empty apart from a few triathletes. Going down to Chichester (new exhibition at Pallant House) and then Bosham to see friends this weekend. May even swim in the sea. Hope your cover comes off and you're pounding those lengths soon. The elderflower champagne was delicious. I now wish I'd made more than two bottles - next year ....
