On another cold April day (what a shame that we aren't allowed visitors in the house), Sue and I pedalled along to the Knutsford entrance to Tatton Park. We waited in the Baltic wind for Kate, Jacob and Jessica to turn up.
Setting off took a while, as Jacob was upset that the gears on his new bike weren't working as they should do. Kate eventually fixed the problem whilst we supped from our flasks etc having reached the courtyard.
We had passed an incubating swan, just to the left of the next picture.
The courtyard was relatively sheltered, though since I was last there they've taken away the tent like protection and have removed a lot of picnic tables, leaving the remaining ones well spread out, unlike the children's playground, which was heaving with small bodies.
Cycling back to Knutsford against the wind was quite a challenge for Jessica, who managed to maintain her smile for most of the way.
It was great to see everyone, and Sue and I certainly got plenty of exercise, returning by a different, more scenic, route, to make it a 28 mile round trip.

At least that's some progress to getting back to something more normal. It makes a difference when the grandchildren are old enough to participate in such outings.
Yes Conrad, it does feel as if life as we once knew it is getting closer, and a delight to be with the grandchildren.
