It's important to remember that somewhere in the world the sun is shining brightly and the sea really is turquoise under a cerulean sky. It's particularly important to remember it when you've just spent 2 hours sanding down window frames, applying masking tape and, just as you're stirring the paint... it starts to rain! Bugger.

So ducked in doors and spent a few idle minutes going back through the photos from my last trip to Pembrokeshire which was the last time the sun shone in this country. Ah well, off up to the Lakes on Wednesday to play on the fells.
