I do hope those more reasonable temperatures continue and become even cooler for you, so that you can get in lots of healthy long walks before you head off to Canada. :-)<br /><br />I'm so glad you're enjoying 'Wolf Hall'. I thought it was mesmerising - one of the best dramas I've seen for a very long time.

Our walking track is very popular - it runs through a park and by the creek with a swimming hole.
