Outdoor living, alright

After the apocalyptic rain on Saturday, yesterday the weather was lovely enough for our Grand Picnic to go ahead in Regent's Park - the first one that hasn't been rained-off for a few years! We had a proper swing band playing the bandstand, and there was even a "swing dance tutorial" going on, which proved very popular in the sunshine. A great finale to a hectic yet very enjoyable couple of weeks off...

It may be our last Bank Holiday here in the UK until the Festering Season, but I haven't forgotten it's a Tacky Music Monday, dear reader!

With happy memories of our weekend in Amsterdam still very much in our hearts and minds, here's something suitably Dutch (and completely crazy) to fit the bill:

Make the most of the sunshine, folks!
