Took Leanne out to the Seal Sanctuary, couple of pics to show how pleasant it was outside http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/Sun.html a near perfect late March day. The sunchine, and lack of wind, making up for the struggling temperatures.

Wet snow/sleet quickly turned back to rain even though the temperature
has stayed the same but the DP rose a little. The hills are now white
above 100 m and I suspect the higher lanes will be very slippery.

Over 12 mm of rain so far today so nothing amazing there but it is
persistent.

I remember a time at the Seal Sanctuary when my dad got into an big
argument with the owner. This was because the owner was throwing fish
into the pools in such a way that the seals would then splash the
spectators as the seals dived for the fish. My dad got splashed with
stinky seal water and wasn't amused. I thought it was going to end in a
fist fight but my dad managed to keep it non-violent. Good, as he would
of slaughtered the owner (he's a big guy is my Pa).

Time to light the wood burner and settle down for the evening - it's yuk
outside. Pity the holiday-makers that have come down for Easter,
hopefully tomorrow will be a better day (it cannot get any worse).
