Feeling fit

The weather has been beautiful this long weekend and more than made up for the weeks of grey and gloom. People have been out mowing lawns, but in the morning, there have been a surprising number of walkers of all ages and sizes. We have had the street full of people smartly marching along in their track pants and sneakers with our without their dogs. We've had big, old labradors, horrible, disgusting pitbulls, little bitty white fluffy things. The sunshine has got everyone out ready to get themselves fitter and healthier for summer. It's good to see because there are always a few dedicated souls, but now everyone has abandoned the soft, warm bed for a brisk trot around the area. It's a nice walk on a sunny day because a lot of work has been done on various gardens around the place and the views are pretty good.
