What have they done! First visit to open air pool this afternoon. Given hot day, expecting a cold shock when I jumped in. But no, invigorating and cooling; temperature was spot on. It might be a bit old fashioned but what a brilliant facility. Right now sheer bliss.

It's a fantastic facility isn't it - Mrs K. is a big fan and was also there today (that wasn't you she talked to about breastroke was it OtE?). -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

No wasn't me. I really enjoy the water, but much to my regret can't swim particularly well.
