Normal Saturday morning before Brandon Marshes but then off with the girls to the Badger Tearoom for lunch - a few refreshing drinks and paninis before setting off with ice creams for a gentle walk round the reserve. Dodgy knee you know, so gentle it was. Thank goodness the temperature dropped off and we had some cloud cover.
