Friday 14 February

Fairly calm here, with a few showers about, but only a few degrees above freezing. Looking at the weather charts, it won't be getting warmer in a hurry, we're just above the frontal systems that continue to bring wind and rain to southern England. Valentine's Day? Why wait until February 14th before declaring your feelings to that special person in your life? There are 364 other days in the year to do that, and you won't be feeding the greed of the retailers!
