Although it was a glorious morning with clear, starry skies and then a wonderful sunrise, it was bloody freezing, confirming that the long-dreaded winter has arrived.
Until now we have been blessed with unseasonal warmth: I wore shorts all weekend and the temperature topped 20 degrees on Saturday.
I still wore shorts this morning, but my head and extremities were cold, and more core chilled by the time I arrived home.
Time to rug up for the next few months.
