Finally some typical April weather

The heavy showers that arrived late yesterday are continuing this morning, and yet it's still very chilly with a stiff breeze.  In between the showers, the sky brightened nicely and before too long the showers died away, leaving a largely fine day with some sunshine.  The wind, if anything, picked up, making it much windier than we've been used to for some time.
