Slightly frustrating morning today as I was stuck in the house awaiting three separate deliveries whilst the sun was shining outside. However happily they'd all arrived by early afternoon and so I was able to get out for a walk whilst it was still sunny.

After a very windy week it was exciting that today on our last evening the sun was shining and the wind had dropped enough to allow us to sit out on the decking outside our holiday cottage in order to eat our dinner. Okay, so we still needed to wear our fleeces but at least we were outside and the sun was shining!

The sun was hotter yesterday than we thought and this morning my feet and ankles look like I'm wearing a pair of red socks - whoops!

Bit of a tough morning today but what better way to cheer ourselves up than with some tea and cake in the sunshine?

Congratulations to Prince William and Catherine Middleton on their marriage! Having watched the whole shebang on the television this morning we then joined our neighbours this afternoon for a street party to celebrate! The sun even shone for us after a rather dull start to the day.

Today was our seventh wedding anniversary. Sadly the weather in Warwickshire wasn't quite as sunny as it was in Weymouth on our wedding day, but we still had a good day out at Kenilworth Castle and these are the cards we received.

It was very sunny in Stratford today and so Stephen took me for a jaunt in a rowing boat on the river Avon...

Another sunny day and so I thought I'd grab a sandwich for lunch and eat it outside. I was going to go to Trinity Square Gardens by Tower Hill tube station but as there was barely a patch of grass to be seen I decided to sit by the sundial above the station instead, which was just as sunny a spot but much less busy!

The sun was shining today, it was unseasonably warm and the crowds were out by the Tower of London at lunchtime.

Orchids are amazing plants. Just a few months ago this was a sad stump and now it is blooming merrily on our bedroom windowsill in the sunshine!

The sun was shining today and it wasn't bitterly cold, so I was actually able to hang out some washing in the garden for the first time this year.

The sun was shining this afternoon and turned my specs into sunglasses mode! Is this another sign that spring has sprung?!
