The path was even more overgrown than the other day, and I expect will become more so since the Himalayan Balsam has only just started growing.

About halfway round The Radbourne Round I caught up with a group of half a dozen walkers and struck up a conversation with them. As I thought, they are members of a local walking group, one that I've wondered about joining. They were walking really slowly today because of the heat, and also because one member has had pneumonia and this was her first outing. I walked with them until they peeled off towards the Hackwood Farm coffee shop and I went home.

Apart from a bit of pruning in the back garden I have done very little, too flippin' hot... although I shouldn't complain.
