We’re in lockdown of course, but exercise is still OK, so we headed to the Botanic Gardens (as we do sometimes) to absorb some of the winter sunshine. For the record, this was before the 5 km radius came in – but in any event, the Botanic Gardens are just on the boundary of that in our case.
The rumour we’d heard that you could still get takeaway coffee turned out not to be true (at least, not at the lakeside cafe), so we went coffee-less. But it was nice to take a break from our exercise and sit on a bench and talk to the waterbirds. And the camellias were in bloom.
We weren’t alone; there were quite a few people with the same idea as us.
