Sunshine on a summer's day

Summer returns at last!  A lovely morning with bright sunshine from the word go.  Temperatures into the mid 20s for the first time in a month, indeed we recorded the highest temperatures since 10 July today.  More cloud during the afternoon, but it was fair weather cloud that didn't take the edge off the day.  Turning a little hazier by tea-time though, and for a time a veil of higher cloud took the warmth down a little earlier than we'd otherwise have seen.  A sign of a weak weather front approaching.
