It was windy up in the bell tower this afternoon!

After a too-early start due to noise from outside our flat, we groggily made the best of the day by heading out into the sunshine to the Horniman. I admit that I had in mind the fabulous cakes from Brett& Bailey, who has a cake stall there on a Sunday. He's sold out of the Snickers Bar cake at Feast last weekend, but there were some at the Horniman – yay! It was good to see the market was buzzing with people and folk were sitting on the grass enjoying the sun. The wind was cold, but we  found a sheltered spot to guzzle our treats.

The spring flowers were glorious (see extra).

We walked back through Sydenham Woods, which is a route we haven't been able to walk for a while because of the mud, but it's all dried up now – that just shows how dry it's been. Near Sydenham, it snowed. Bonkers weather. It was only a few pathetic flakes and when I came to take Poppy for her walk, it was all sunshine again. This time, I took water with me and Poppy drank two cupfuls after her game of ball and was much more perky on the way home. I'll bring water from now on.
