Plenty more sun

Plenty more sunshine today - a contrast to the generally cloudy day we had forecast.  Some thin altocumulus cloud (patches of sky containing numerous small 'cotton wool' clouds) in the morning, giving way to largely clear skies in the afternoon.  Eventually around tea-time the sky became noticeably more hazy and the temperature dropped several degrees, signalling the approach of a weather front.  The rain arrived just before midnight, a blot on the record of what had been a very nice summer's day.
