An 03.50 start today, so roof firmly up. Over to Paddington, fabulous vermillion to pink to orange sunrise, then the clouds disperse.

Paddington to Cardiff, into the "brickyard" to change ends. Wait a minute...it feels WARM, as well as sunny.

Please please please keep the sky blue, oh supreme creator. Back to Bristol and the sky IS still blue, although there's some CuNim heading from the south (ie the Mendips ie home), but off with the roof, on with the shades and away we go.

CuNim getting thicker, but the sun's warm when it peeps out and now I'm out of Brizzle, I can keep good momentum, should it rain.

It doesn't rain and the sun appears as I arrive at the garage, so I open the garage doors to air the inside and take the opportunity to Autosol the chrome bits. Amazing how dirty the windscreen top rail can get!

30 mins later, sun disappears so into the garage. What a lovely way to spend a day! Just lacking a square rigger to compete with Peter boat

Cheers
