Sizzling hot!

me swimming

Last week there was a heatwave in the UK and temperatures have soared to 36 degrees. It was absolutely sweltering so me and Alessandro decided to get out of London and headed west to a little village near Maidenhead. We cooled off by having a quick dip in The Thames (before it hits London) and had a lovely lazy day sunbathing and reading on the banks of the river.
