Well we're only just into spring but today is the first day of British Summer Time, though it feels anything but summery. We've seen a fairly consistent drizzle, heavy cloud and outside temperatures on the cool side, not that we're out and about. It's definitely a day for staying indoors!
The rain eased off by evening, but although there was daylight until well after seven, it still wasn't the sort of day to venture out.
