It’s sweltering outside - and if you have young children then splash parks are one of the best ways of keeping cool.
We are blessed with some good ones around here, with special mention to those in Alverstoke and Lee-on-the-Solent - and Southsea Castle’s fountains at dusk when the lights come on.
So now the temperature is rising, you know what to do...
