First nice day of the holiday so off on my bike along the Lea Navigation and then the Hertford Union to Victoria Park (both East and West side).
The tow path seemed a less busy than it would have been on a Sunday at that time. I met Denise from work walking her dog back to her house boat.
It was blue sky and mild.
I can remember once cycling to my friend in Highbury one Christmas Day when it was blue sky, but cold. The cold air hurt my nose, and I had a runny nose for about 5 days afterwards.
There were some daffodils in flower in Victoria Park. I've read about Cornish daffodils being in flower but I was still surprised!

Bumble bees in December - again
This morning there was a bumble bee outside my bedroom window.
When I went to write about this in my perpetual diary I found that on 13 December 2006 a colleague had seen a bumble bee in his winter clematis.
As the years pass, a perpetual diary gets more and more interesting.
I also saw a kingfisher this morning when paddling up the Old River Lea between Tottenham and Waltham Forest. And there were 2 Egyptian geese grazing between the riding stable and Lea Bridge Road as I cycled home. I often see a pair of these on the side of the Lea Navigation, but their location today was a surprise.
