We have now had one day of "decent" weather since Christmas. Almost
every day bar last Sunday has been dire with it barely getting light
during the day. I can't wait for the change to come next week so long as
it brings some clear skies. I'm not bothered about a cold spell anymore
as that looks as far off as ever but the promise of normal High Pressure
next week is welcome. This is why I prefer cold to mild - because there
is less chance of it being like this!
