Beautiful morning leads to a glorious day

A touch of frost on the car this morning but already the sun is getting to work and temperatures are on the rise. Throughout the day we saw blue skies, light winds and some strong April sunshine.  Oddly we did record a hint of 'rain' during the night - I can only assume it was early morning dew or frost as there were no clouds around!
