A cycle in the sunshine

It was a beautiful day today, so we decided to take advantage of everybody being off work on a Sunday afternoon and went to the park. Hagley Park is just on the other side of town and is a lovely place to take the bikes, although strictly speaking I don't think we were supposed to cycle in the Botanic Gardens part of it. There were lots of other people enjoying the warm sunshine and crisp autumn air, and nobody seemed too bothered by us on our bikes, so I don't think we caused a problem anyway.

Skry and I cycled to the park by ourselves and met up with Phil and Lou there. They had done something I wished we'd thought of in advance - bought takeaway food and had lunch in the sunshine. After they'd eaten, we all met up and took a meandering route through and around the park for half an hour or so. Even though it is definitely autumn, and the weather has been both cold and wet recently, today was a jeans-and-tshirt day and we were all wishing we'd brought sunglasses too. It was a really pleasant afternoon, finished off with a refreshing pint of Nally's cider (incidentally, way better on draught than it is in bottles) in a local bar before heading home. More Sundays should be like this one.
