Finally we see the sun!

Well, after several days of overcast skies and a hint of murky sun at best, this morning brought clear skies and bright sunshine, if a touch of frost.  Even the view from the platform at Darwen Station was smiling!

The blue skies gradually became more hazy, but even so I didn't need a coat for the first time this year as I went for a walk at lunchtime.  Over the afternoon, the cloud gradually built, but the day stayed dry and winds remained light.
