The last few days have been absolutely beautiful here in Plymouth; a run of perfect days full of burnished blue skies and bright winter sunshine. Now we are back to boring grey skies and dull light I feel like I need a reminder of how gorgeous it really was.
On Sunday I decided to go and bask in the sunshine and also have something more exciting for lunch than just nibbling whatever was in the fridge by myself at home. I parked up near the Barbican and walked (or rather waddled which is all I can manage at the moment!) the whole length of the sea front and back again with the sun warm on my face.
It was beautiful.
The sky was a perfect pale blue, the sun pale but bright and warm and the sea was completely calm and an amazing clear turquoise colour; Barbados eat your heart out.
By the time I made it back to the Barbican I was decidedly the hungrier side of peckish and ducked into the nearest fish and chip shop to get some lunch. I carried my prize to a bench in the sunshine and tucked into the crispiest fish and fluffy chips and enjoyed a bit of people watching.
On the way back to the car I spotted a Peacock butterfly sunning itself on a car, such vibrant colours in the pale sunshine, a hopeful hint of Spring's immanency!
