Yes. as long as it doesn't go on too long and the sun comes out
eventually.

It might be over 14c - but it is damp, overcast and dull - utterly
awful.

Whatever happened to our crisp, January days of sun, 5c and no wind...

When was that then? You've been looking at too many
Christmas cards. In any case there a number of days like that in
December.

Having spent much of the day yesterday in a waterlogged field in Berkshire
(along witht some muddy wolves and muddier photographers) I'd be inclined to
agree - it's hard to think of a more dismal setup for the time of year. The
fact it was as warm as late April was scant consolation.

That said, the drizzle eased for an hour or so and some of us were able to
have lunch outdoors: quite surreal sitting outside eating food in the middle
of January!

As a side note, I'm amazed at the difference between Kent and Berkshire at
the moment. Those wolves are a hundred miles away yet it feels like the
other side of the world: no flooded fields and squelchy grass here!

It's brilliant!

I put the longs away and cycled in shorts these last few days; just like
spring. Shame about the wind, but hey - beggars can't be choosers.
