It was a lovely 'spring' day yesterday here. (And I definitely have mixed feelings about that!)

This morning there is lots of cloud around and it is (happily) feeling colder and won't warm up as much, but as the forecast stands it does not look like we can expect any snow - and probably can't expect any before we get into March either (and if we do, very slight). Obviously I hope that is wrong but we're just going to have to sit tight and see. But I always say it's never good to wish the days away and as my grandmother always said 'make the most of every day'. So, I'm going to listen to my gran.

It might be more spring conditions than mid-winter at the moment, but there's tons of fun in that too. Hope to see some of you out there today!

Oh yes, sunny skies are forecast for tomorrow.
