Monday 7th March

For those of you in England this will come as no surprise, but still it surprised me.  It was a bit milder at Walton, the overnight rain had ceased and although a grey old sky I thought we might eventually see that rarest of sights – a touch of sunshine.  I caught the 12.30 train and looking out the window it seemed brighter, almost a pale wintry sun amongst the ever-present clouds.  But as London approached it got gloomier and gloomier and exiting at Island Gardens it started a brief flurry of snow and then hailstones.  Oh well.  The temperature suddenly dropped and for a moment or two we were in full on Winter mode.

Luckily it didn’t last long.  Home and in the warm at last.  A bit of a rest before work tomorrow.
