A very sunny, bright and fine day around Birchwood, Warrington from dawn to now with a very enjoyable commute through the sunrise earlier. Currently 11 Celsius and negligible wind, pressure 1035 hPa.

In both Chester and Warrington we have been enjoying the dry, often fine and sunny weather of the last week or two after the long drenching of 2012 and the snow (whilst the latter was enjoyable for me personally). Today is a continuation of that. Off-topic this has allowed my office chilli plant, restored to the windowsill after the winter, to explode with flowers promising a good supply soon!
