Although rain and icy arctic winds had been predicted, the early morning was simply glorious.
It was mild, no wind, no rain - but a very light high mist though which the sun shone.
A most beautiful start to the day.
At the time of writing, in the afternoon, the sun has gone, the sky is grey, there is a slight breeze from the NW and it feels damp.
We left the house at 6.35 a.m. and went into Pontcanna Fields, from the first field in Llandaff Fields, past the toddlers' playground. We had heard some raven calls in the distance, but saw no ravens in that first field, nor in Pontcanna Fields.
