Staycation Day 1

It's the first day of my staycation and the forecast promises a sunny day, which is a bit suspicious for a British Bank Holiday but I'm hopeful that it at least stays dry this afternoon!

I'm not going out until this afternoon so I'll make time this morning to fit in an Italian lesson, knee strengthening exercises, and some piano practice. I'll be doing a lot of walking this afternoon so that will count as my daily exercise.

If it is a fine day the local touristy sort of places are likely to be busier than I'll be comfortable with, so Lacock (my original choice, as I hadn't realised it was the August Bank Holiday when I planned this) is best avoided today. Instead I'll go out with my camera and head for the river in Bradford on Avon to try to get some decent photos of the heron and kingfisher that can usually be seen by the bridge and afterwards will make a start on the Town Trail - I'd actually like to do it all in one go but it depends on how well my knee holds out.

This evening I think it's choir practice and then I'll be watching 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' which is premiering on ITV. I missed it when it was in the cinemas.
