London Fields Lido, cappuccinos on Hoxton Beach ...

Just emerged from six lengths of London Fields Lido - swimming in the gaffers' lane, overtaken by sleek torpedoes of girls, their arms cleaving the water like the propellers of the Spirit of St Louis -

I lay on my back, halfway down one length, staring up at the hazy clouds - there were two stern lifeguards on duty, watching the fascinating carnival of swimmers - 

The trees in the Fields were all in new delicate leaf - dogs roved about, eager for adventure - 

Outside the Lido , Paul chatted to a young man in dark glasses -

It's kind of much more, about, working with profit - but you can work around it -
