The open air pool has already closed for the season, and today was the last day that the kiosk was open – to hire out golf and tennis equipment. The man in charge said that August had been fairly quiet, but that today was fantastic. Perhaps, a combination of lots of sunshine, and this being the last chance saloon.

This group are teeing off for the first hole. The youngest lad took three or four swings before hitting the ball, but then hit it well enough to end up in the mill stream – thats the shade in the distance.

The play park and water jets were also popular, and beside the victorian lake, a large game of rounders was happening.

Over the other side of the river, it was heaving with boats. I’ve not seen many busier days all summer.
