sunshine

It was overcast and grey and not particularly warm for a summer's night, in stark contrast to the blue skies and sunshine of the previous day.

The good news is that there will also be some sunshine which is getting ever-stronger and daylight is now increasing by around 4 to 5 minutes every day.

The 47-year-old, from King's Lynn in Norfolk, inhaled the spray twice a day, believing it would give her tan "time to build up before we actually get into the sunshine".

Neighbouring pods are filled with tourists taking pictures of the views across the capital, looking resplendent in the spring sunshine.

There are sheets in the windows and washing hanging to dry in the late winter sunshine.
