It was a cursory visit to Blackheath today as we had not anticipated the wind chill factor on a grey May day. Gloves and leggings would have been appropriate…

Xtra Vents with three wrap worked today but we would have to have been much more energetic to keep the cold at bay.

The swifts may have followed us back from Italy but, as is often the case, their arrival is followed by seemingly unseasonal conditions.
