Bright in the gloom

When we woke this morning the day looked bright and sunny but rain and gloom soon descended.  I stood on the steps under the shelter of the porch to take this picture: our pots of osteospermums are still flowering cheerfully despite the rather significant drop in temperature.
Many thanks to BikerBear for her continued hosting of FF.

My father, had he lived so long, would have been 109 today.
