Less than 24 hours

Terry returned last night, carapaced by two rucksacks, looking like a lobster and peeling like an onion. He's just been to Lake District. I can't wait; this weekend'll be our turn! 
London's turning cold. From a max of 33ºC in Silwood in the past few days to a min of 12ºC in London today, my body's [...]

Not a fan, but…
