 But we didn't! Been a mild day, but 'only' got to 14  degrees ( which is in itself pretty darn  good!) Very still air earlier, though it got a wee bit breezy a while ago. Now around 11 or 12.
 Not sunny earlier, but the warmth opened a few flowers... the scent was nice. No need for a rush to shorts and sandals though.  (That was a relief! :-X)

Always next February,  ;)

W. Lothian is still suffering the after effects of the January gales.  No boating will be possible until this tree is removed from the Grand Union canal in Linlithgow.  Logistically quite a task I expect.
