Summertime Fun!

A rather spontaneous one from me. I’ve just had a knock on the door from Amazon. My bottle of sunscreen that’s been lurking in a dark cupboard for many months is three years old now. I thought it’d be prudent to get a new one

So, I can’t speak for others but the mini heatwave that’s been forecast is now with us, at least here in Sussex.
I was wondering if any of you have any plans for this summer? Take up a new hobby, catch up with an old one perhaps? I’m certainly keen to get back to fishing on our local mill pond, would love to get back down on to the coast for some beach, pier or rock fishing.

If you care to look at the back of the picture you can see the arm brace and stem of my good old Laser Trident metal detector. I’m very tempted although it’s extremely difficult get permission to dig on someone’s land, understandably so. Beaches are generally fine :+1::ocean::shell:

But potentially there’s a myriad of things to get up to during the summer months, any hopes or plans?
Don’t forget, before we can blink it’ll be Christmas again! :open_mouth::christmas_tree:

I’ve just promised to take Mrs d00d for a picnic in Hyde Park. We go there often, but not had a picnic in years. Smoked salmon sandwiches, pastel de nata, water, port in the hip flask, coconut truffles. Nothing like roughing it on a sunny summers days

Sounds interesting Eliza!
Thank goodness for Railcards, they’ve saved me a lot of money over the years!:slightly_smiling_face:

Blimey!
Hyde park, that brings back memories. Like the sound of your picnic basket d00d.
Actually you’ve reminded me, I keep thinking about paying a long overdue visit to Regents Park, haven’t been for decades…
