Friday was my day off and it turned out to be an absolute cracker, clear blue skies and temperatures well into the mid to high 20's. Spotted these poppies growing in someone's garden and thought they looked terrific!
Lilian and I went on one of our favourite walks down to Shaw's Bridge and along the towpath to Lady Dixon Park. Looked pretty cool in the shorts, white socks and brown shoes!
Hard to believe that this is on the edge of Belfast! This stretch of the river was once a major waterway with horses pulling the canal boats along to Lisburn and beyond but it is now used only by walkers and cyclists. Fairly quiet today despite the good weather. Did two geocaches on the way which were just off the towpath and another one when we reached the Park.
Had a picnic and a doze under a tree for some shade and then slowly made our way back along the towpath to the car (about 3 miles).
Went up to Winnie's for an hour and had a cup of tea and a read of the papers in the garden and then came home.
Dave & Stace Skyped us to tell us that it was raining in Canada.
Big fireworks display down at the castle and we went down to see it and have a walk along by the marina. Beautiful warm evening and good to see eveybody strolling about the waterfront or sitting outside at restaurants and cafes.
