With the recent heatwave and Saharan weather we've been having, we thought instead of our traditional visit to the pub for free beers, we would do something different.
So we ventured down the road in Cirencester to the Open Air Swimming Pool - just a short stroll away. Here are the team itching to reveal their tanned torsos...
The Open Air Pool in Cirencester is almost older than America. As you can see below...
To show Cirencester's Roman links, there was even a mosaic of a mermaid.
Here is the wonderful open air pool in Cirencester, with the stunning backdrop of the Bathurst Barracks. On here they have soldiers with bow and arrows to fire at anyone who's running, bombing or ducking. It's a strong deterrant.
Some of the team swam, some of them just soaked up the rays and enjoyed the view.
As were about to leave and head back to work, the pool was suddenly evacuated as someone was sick in the pool. Nice touch. We happened to catch this romantic moment in time as we were filming the idyllic blue sky scene. Enjoy...
Oli Christie, CEO of Neon Play, fresh from a dip in the pool and slightly pink commented, "As a change from the usual Friday pub drinks, we thought it would crazy not to use the fantastic local pool on a perfect summer's day. It was great fun and the team played like children in the pool. Luckily, it wasn't one of them who were sick..."
In case you had missed it, last year we were invited to a slightly more exclusive pool party by Lord and Lady Bathurst. Here's a pic for old time's sake.
