Early spring promise

Generally a fairly nice day with light winds, decent spells of sunshine and temperatures responding in the early spring sun.  Feeling warmer than the thermometer recorded, but apart from a brief shower late morning, all in all not a bad day.  Later in the evening the wind started freshening, indicating that tomorrow may be quite different...
