With the days getting longer and warmer, and the lockdown restrictions beginning to be eased, we are all looking forward to the “Great Outdoors”.
The ability to sit or play in the garden, or visit the local park, take a stroll by the river, or even attend a sports fixture, is returning.
So this week we take a look at some of the activities in pictures from the archives. They were all taken in March in different years in the past.
