It was good to see that we
no longer need to pay for the car park. The autumn
colours are becoming more evident but we needed some sun
to highlight them. Walking was quite pleasant and
jackets weren't needed until we reached Jubilee Tower.
Now being more exposed the wind lowered the temperature
and we were keen to keep moving. |
