A mixed bag of weather

Overnight rain as a weather front moved through, but skies quickly brightened and the sun came out.  Pleasant for a while, though a tad cool for having a sandwich in the garden at lunchtime, so a jumper was required.  Towards teatime the skies slowly deteriorated as heavy and brooding layers of cloud moved in, and this led to rain for a time during early evening.  The rain didn't last all that long, but the cloud persisted throughout the evening and into the night.
