Pink sky morning and posh cars

At 7.30 this morning, this was the view from my window. The sky was pink, which is supposed to be a bad sign, but today has been a beautiful sunny, if chilly, day so far.


I took my car (a Ford Focus) to be serviced, and the courtesy car I was promised was still out, so instead they let me have an Alpha Romeo! I've never driven one of those before. It's like driving a comfortable armchair.

And here's a picture of an ivy covered flight of steps that are at the start of a footpath nearby.
