We've now had a whole week of ice cream weather: no rain, and temperatures in the high twenties today again. We took the boys to Ragley Hall, opposite where we used to live for so many years - but not somewhere I went much round. The adventure playground proved a hit, sensibly situated within woodland, so sun lotion not needed. At lunchtime, surprisingly few tables were taken in Hooke's Café, the rather excellent Ragley basement eaterie, named for the Hall's architect (it dates from 1680 and has worn well): all in all, a very satisfactory day.
