I wish. Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, 18th Variation, by Sergei Rachmaninov. Well beyond my talents (at least when played in it's entirety). 

I did see it performed once, maybe 10 years ago. It was Stephen Hough at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. Wonderful.

Are you still playing?

Been lovely here recently, today was cooler and cloudier but the silver lining was upside down rainbows.

More than three weeks of lovely summer weather now. Generally 20-28c. Today was at the cooler end and a bit breezy but the water was still 19.5c. It has rained once in that time, briefly and mostly overnight.

 

To hit 30c mid week. That's a bit warm, to be fair.

Its been wall to wall sunshine here Jonathan for several days now .

Pretty warm here. Bit breezy today but that helped cool things down a bit.

At least 3 weeks with no rain and non  forcast quite rare for May?

A beautiful morning today. 05:00, sunrise over a lake just north of the village

 

Do the locals fish in the lakes?  If so what do they catch?

That particular lake is actually a carp fishing syndicate. Only to about 36-38lb, but it's well cared for.

 

All the other lakes hold fish. All species really, but pike, perch and zander are the most popular species. They grow quite large here too as the pressure is low. 

 

 

Only cycling past today, I'm afraid. It was also 4 degrees!

Sounds heavenly.  I think your holidays would appeal to fisher-types as well as bicyclists and wild swimmers.

Agreed. Just a bit harder to organise as you need to know what you're doing. The lakes vary from large to enormous. If you're not well equipped, and with a boat, you're unlikely to catch so much. That makes it a bit more difficult to offer as a holiday option.

 

Yes I can see it must be difficult to know where to start without extensive local knowledge!
