It certainly is a little on the warm side at the moment and maybe we are all having to live with consideration for the heat; I for one have been just a little sensible and certainly slowed down a little.

This afternoon I wanted to go out to paint, but how could I do that responsibly, whilst not putting myself at risk from overheating. So I wandered down to the canal and stopped near by to the Bridge Barn, then sitting under the trees on the edge of the canal tow path; a pleasant cool breeze was running down the canal, which was just right and I had lots to drink with me. not a bad start. I kept the relaxed feeling gong by using the children's multi coloured biros which I bought for a song the other day. So, no expectations of fine art, just fun and relaxation.The result, maybe a little colourful, but I did enjoyed myself.
