To my memory, the last sunny day we had was Jan 19th when i went up to the reservoir, the sun did try to get through a couple of days back but only for a few minutes, then gave up. Apparently the Jetstream is pointing right at us and a weather front is stuck over Scandinavia and we’ve had Easterly winds all this time ……. cold! … More Walking in Dreich
