Lovely. The sun is now well and truly up on my 7am dog walk now. Yesterday morning was glorious. Beautiful sun, a bit of dew on the grass yet to be burned off and both the dog and I had a Spring in our step.

A weekend of Dubstep on Friday night through a big set of speakers at a DragonGate Festival Warm Up party. A Saturday of 70th Birthday celebration lunch at the lovely Chez La Vie in Harrogate and a Sunday of the above, followed by a walk where Elsie (a dog) had her first proper swim at Oakdale Beck – just near New Park in Harrogate.

A beautiful day it was – we were all so glad we made it out for a walk – despite Jaygo’s inclement mood. It was utterly nice to get out in the sun wearing just a t-shirt*. It made us remember how nice the outside world is and how much we miss it.

I’d say yesterday first officially warm day of the year.  Quite early in the grand scheme of things. Coming to think of it, the last memorably warm day for me was the 30decC of October the 1st – which was quite late. I’m not complaining!
