Where does everyone keep finding this sunshine ? its been very scarce around North Wales so far this month, lots of wind, some snow on the mountain tops lots of horizontal rain but tiny amounts of the golden one!

Got to admit Stinsy it does give you a nice feeling when the display looks like yours does, long may it continue for you.
