Phew it’s hot! Cath suggested going to a local lake where there is a beach and a swimming area so we went – along with the rest of Lyon.
Like everyone else we headed for the shady spots – and there weren’t many left. As the thermometer reached 36 degrees I headed into the water to see if I could have my first proper swim in months.
The water was lovely and there was a clear stretch to swim across so I thought I’d try to do a proper distance. The fact is I enjoyed myself so much that I did 20 lengths of an area that must have been about 120m long and stayed in for over an hour!
By the time I got back to our shady area there was no more shade and it was time to move on.
We drove up to Le Mont d’Or to show Cath’s sister Sally, who is staying with us for a few days, how the other half live.
