Hi PAN78,
When it's overcast, is it still warm with you or cold? The weather has changed for us today, it has been lovely, very springlike with blue skies and a warm sun, still a cold wind though, but now it's also become pretty overcast and I think it could rain. Which is a pain as I have just hung the washing out!
