Hope you all had a pleasant weekend, and if in London, you made the most of the fantastic weather on Saturday.  Summer it would appear is nearly upon us.  Temperatures soared to 27 degrees celcius!  Answer English took advantage of the sunshine to launch it’s AE Bike Rides, cycling from Central London along the river to Richmond. 

The river is such a good way to see London, be it if you head west and you can see the parks of London and east to see the great buildings.  Along the way we took in Kew Gardens, and stopped for a drink in Richmond before the ride home. 

To complete the sporty weekend, we got down to Temple to watch the Marathon.  It was fantastic to see the thousands of runners complete the 26 miles and raise millions for charity.  As it was also St. George’s Day, the Patron Saint of England, there were many runners cloaked in the English flag or dressed as a knight.  That and the usual comic gorilla suit of course!

We spotted Olympic gold medallist, James Cracknell, some minor reality TV ‘celebrities’ and more importantly friends, Charlie, Sarah and Toni.  Well done to all those involved!
