Over at Gainsborough Old Hall the toddlers’ Storytime group stayed sensibly in the shade and enjoyed reading on a picnic blanket.

And it was fun in the sun at Gainsborough Adventure Playground as children made the most of the outdoor playing field there.

Temperatures are expected to dip this weekend to around 10C, which is normal for the time of year.
