Perhaps visit somewhere nice like Mark S Lewis who visited Oddingley at the weekend and took this picture.

Or enjoy a walk through the woods like photographer Mihály Tomka and take pictures of the bluebells.

But, out of nowhere, this happens

Or the sky looks like it does in Liz Allen's picture from Malvern

So let's hope we at least can enjoy a bit of this:

Like Lindsay Jones and her family did at Old Hills, Callow End

There is some good news though... Tuesday is expected to be warm. Just in time for going back to work/school.
