So despite it being a quite cool and overcast day we set off to Mote Park as planned to celebrate a slightly early Father's Day. Dad, James, Julia, Annie and me had a good walk around first - just in case we got rained off - and then had our picnic before heading back home to warm up.
Irritating that I've sat in too hot temperatures all bloody week at work and yet once again when it gets to the weekend and some time off the weather decides that is the right time to totally change. Yesterday we had wall to wall rain all day - total washout for getting anything useful done outside and today whilst it's stayed dry in the main the temps have been low and uninspiring.
Still Dad & I took our cameras along as usual and took a few snaps and in this particular shot Julia chucked a stone into the water to create the splash you see here to add some interest to the still water.
All in all it was just really good to spend some quality time together especially as last year I had to get gifts/cards posted to Dad as Covid-19 prevented all of us from meeting up as usual.
At least with most of us jabbed twice and Julia & James having had one shot at least we are definitely getting there.
And it was good to wander around the park and see how much it has changed since last summer which was my last visit. The new café is being built, the dam (?) work has completed and generally the park is looking good. Maybe now that I've had both of my jabs I'll feel a bit more confident to bus over there for a proper mooch around. It used to be one of my many haunts pre-Covid-19.
