Went to Southend: cleverly she'd brought soup and food which was an unexpected bonus as it was freezing. Then the sun came out and we wandered up to the park.

'Cold end [to February]' [...]

Cold and wet but clear.

Pleasant weather - though without yesterday's spring-like haze. More hard-edged.

A real hazy Spring-like afternoon with dusty sun and warmth.

Went to get a look at the sea: ochre and angry. Raining in the evening.

Started raining during the morning, till about noon.

Beautiful sunny, windy, showery interesting-cloud weather these last four days. Amazing for February - it's usually such a miserable month.
