Warmer, dull and... almost dry!

Again the forecast said it would be brighter today but it didn't work out - still quite dull with plenty of grey clouds throughout the day, and some rain too in the early hours.  Staying dry at Oakdale throughout the day-time (though in the Bowland hills where we were today there was a lengthy spell of drizzle during the afternoon).  Becoming close during the afternoon and feeling a little warmer.
