Lovely day with clear blue skies and very light winds, much nicer than earlier in the week which was mostly cloudy with a strong breeze with unpleasant dewpoints, great thing about today is if you want it warm just sit in the sun but if you don't want to feel warm just sit in the shade or indoors away from the sun and it feels chilly with low dewpoints, perfect weather that I wish I could lock in

[johnholmes]

a lovely day here, lots of blue sky, not much breeze and a high of 16.9C in my very sheltered back garden, and the plants/bulbs/flowers/shrubs/trees continue to react to this-lovely, oh and the frogs, now 4 lots of frog spawn.
