The sun returns

A fine sunny morning, with a hint of frost on the windscreen first thing and a little mist in the high valleys around Darwen. Becoming hazy by lunchtime, then cloud gradually thickening to bring one or two spots of rain on the windscreen by tea-time.  The rain held off though through the evening, the cloud cover keeping the temperatures high overnight.
