Maximum temperature today 16C, minimum 7C. 5mm of rain measured this morning. 13 km/h North-westerly winds with gusts up to 28 km/h. We look though as if we are in for a cold weekend before it warms up again next Tuesday.
We had friends to lunch yesterday and it was a really nice day. We had drinks and starter course sat outside in the sun. I intended to take some photos but was too busy and forgot!!
