A tranquil scene on a fine February day.(18th), as observed from the road between Moulin & the Golf Course.

 However, though still benign, today finds a layer of low cloud, which came in from off the North Sea linked to a weak cold front moving from east to west.
Temperatures have actually fallen during the last couple of hours & with a moderate SE wind & some drizzle in the air, there is a distinctly raw feel to things, accentuated by the disappointment of seeing a short taste of spring rudely stopped in its tracks

At this time last year, we were entering a mild, mainly dry spell to end February, including a record-breaking 15.1 degrees on the 23rd.   This was then followed by a dry & exceptionally mild March.
Things don't seem set to follow such a pattern this year!!.
