I was able to speak to Kath Wood the night before and arranged to meet at the pool at 10.30am. BT had kindly changed the pool’s telephone number but having spoken to Diane from the previous lido, I was able to get Kath’s home number. Again, Kath was kind enough to open the pool early as she normally opened it at 1pm. Half the cover was removed of this beautifully tiled and well maintained pool. Again Dave raced ahead with me playing catchup in a comfortable 22-degree pool temperature. We completed our task and were well looked after by Kath’s young son who made us both a cup of coffee (what a star!). This had been a good start to our second day on the road. Like Metheringham, we had swam in an empty pool, but we could imagine that on a warm summers day, both pools being well used by children and families. These were real community assets and clearly loved and treasured.
