Two degrees and sunshine.

It is joyful to wake to bright sunshine although difficult to enjoy it fully in our garden due to the heavy shadow from all the neighbouring trees. Dappled sunshine is what we get and we appreciate that.

Some of the trees are tall!

But to get a real blast of sunshine we need to head to the beach. On a day like this, and a weekend, many locals will have the same idea, so we have been down early, joining the regular dog walkers, runners and a few stalwart swimmers. We walked down through the tropical gardens.

The first glimpse and sound of the sea is always joyful. It's calm today and a pleasure to be out, just walking along the shore line. Then it was home for breakfast!
