A sunny Easter Day

Who says the weather's always bad at Easter?  It's not been great all week and the Easter holidays didn't get off to the best of starts on Good Friday, but yesterday was better and after some early morning mist and cloud this morning, the sun has come out.  For the most part it's been a lovely day, and temperatures responded with another pleasant 12°c again in the afternoon.  With lighter winds too, it's actually felt warmer - a high apparent temperature over 10°c in warm April sunshine is much more like it.
