I was in St. James Park yesterday afternoon at the end of the marathon
and I can confirm the weather had the feel of early summer. It was
cool, with rain at the Marathon start and cloudy until well after
midday.The afternoon sun was delightful though. Well done to my
missus!

Did you drive up that morning or stay overnight?
