Getting better

A brighter morning, still some clouds around and not as cold as forecasted. With the wind in the north, temperatures were predicted to fall almost to freezing, unheard of here in July, but in the event, although cool, we were some way above this.  If anything, the sky gradually improved during the day, not in a continuous steady way, but by the evening rush hour the sun was shining brightly and it suddenly felt like summer again!  Perhaps all is not lost yet!
