Since October, cloudy, raining, cool, incessant cold wind. Probably less than a handful of bright, sunny days. Forecast to be the same for the next week, that's up to the 6th of May. I know the memory can play tricks, but in all honesty I've never experienced such depressing weather. Despite our cool temperate climate we've always had the odd few days, perhaps a week, of cheerful weather over autumn, winter and spring. Moan over.
