A damp morning as a result of a string of slight showers
but these have been interspersed with sunny intervals. A
rainbow made an appearance at 1110Z.

On the back of 9 consecutive days when the max temp
has broken through the 10C barrier, a fragrant carmine
pink rose has come into bloom in our back garden. For
the keen gardeners out there, it's a thornless rose called
Zephirine Drouhin.
