A walk to Grandpont Meadow

Today the wind was unbelievably cold, an Arctic wind apparently, whatever it was it chilling. We thought that since the wind was fairly strong it would be a good day to take Megan down to Grandpont Meadow and fly kites. It was pretty blustery, but occasionally the sun would shine through and brighten things up.

The narrowboats are beginning to appear again on the side of the island. It’s great to see them again, they add so much life and character to the riverside.

The meadow was beautiful:

As it turned out, we ended up hailed on (sun, rain, clouds, hail, sun.. it must be England!). Nevertheless, we all had a great time, and came back for some homemade soup.
