26/9 A fine day but with stubborn cloud cover

A clear and cold start without a cloud, but during the morning a layer of convection cloud developed, which pegged back the temperatures and spoiled what would have been a lovely day.  At the coast in Southport, where we spent the day, there was much more sunshine, just a scattering of fair weather cloud for a time.  Back at Oakdale, by evening the cloud thinned and broke, leaving clear skies, giving a good view of the almost-full "supermoon", and allowing temperatures to fall.
