Heading in the right direction

If yesterday showed signs that spring is perhaps on its way, then today gave more of the same.  After some overnight rain, skies improved and whilst still quite cloudy, temperatures seemed up a notch and the wind a little less biting.  The forecast for the weekend is for temperatures in double figures, so we're heading in the right direction.
