It has been amazingly warm here. We've had temperatures above 70 F and no clouds to speak of. Saturday football at Regents park was a bit hot as a result. I was beat after about 10 minutes of play. It probably didn't help that we only had 6 guys, so 3-on-3 was all we could muster.
The tone of Camden really changes when the weather is nice - lots of people out on the streets, no matter what time of day. Tons of people at Regents park - we took a walk there yesterday with the girls and it was hard to even find an empty bench or space under a tree to sit and rest.
We have been encouraged by a number of different people to make sure that we don't attempt too much in our first year, but to really take our first year as one of learning/listening. The change in season has reinforced that for me. The way the seasons affect the feel of the city is amazing - you'd assume that a city would carry on as usual, no matter what the weather, but it definitely changes things.

The weather has turned warm for me here as well. It's been so refreshing--out taking pictures as much as I can.
