A hot, hot week has driven many of us to seek refuge from the sweltering sun, resulting in a surge in indoor activities that keep us cool and entertained. Snooker and arts and crafts are our go to activities.

Meanwhile, when the temperature allows, there are also opportunities for shady walks through parks or tree-lined streets, where the gentle breeze provides a refreshing contrast to the heat, allowing us to enjoy the beauty of nature while staying comfortable.

Each day offers a chance to balance these indoor pursuits with leisurely strolls in the cooler hours, making the most of our summer experience.
