Cool but better than expected

Today proved to be better than expected - we were promised several sharp showers which would make us think it was April, but in the event we only had a couple of light showers in an otherwise dry day.  Once again it's been quite cool, and with the wind today being a little stronger than of late, there's been a distinct nip in the air reminding us that we're still nearer winter than summer.
