What a joy to have the sun streaming through the windows this morning.

I have washing on the line, done a tip run, cleaned the window sills outside and identified the jobs that need doing in the garden.

My lovely husband is washing the cars and I will sit in a sheltered spot and have a cuppa outside later.

Isn’t it wonderful to see a return of the sun!

I learnt a new word this week - Apricity - which means the warmt of the sun on a cold winter day. We have experienced it a couple of times in the last two weeks but not for very long.
Hoping for a change as we move into Spring. I remember the lovely warm weather in 2020 at thebeginning of the pandemic. It would be nice to have similar weather this year but without the worry and restrictions.

Not where I am, just another grim grey day.

Sunshine on a rainy day in late winter is so invigorating. Touches and caresses the soul.

Manna from heaven!

Hi! Made myself chuckle - thought you meant soap - you know soap & water to wash! I noticed in the supermarket that the range of soaps are diminishing - wash looking for my cussons imperial. I no longer use the old fashioned flannel, switched to softer muslin squares. Although I shower or bathe every other day, I still have a daily wash. My daughter says its all creams and wipes and body washes now! Ps not watched a soap for years, but noticed a trailer with a load of old originals in. Ta!

Hold the press!

It hasn’t rained (yet) today in Durham. I’ve towels outside to dry - first time since before Christmas and the Postman is wearing shorts!! Must be Spring.

It’s another day in paradise here in mid Wales. It is throwing it down at this moment. We’ve gone from light mizzle, to steady rain, to torrential and back agin several times today. Not a glimpse of the sun. The weeds love it.

It too bad here either in south west Wales. The sun is out until at least mid afternoon…so they say!
Enjoy it whilst you can. everyone.

It was raining locally this morning but by the time I got to Liverpool the sun was cracking the pavements, as they say.

A glorious afternoon.
