Sunny skies not set to last

SUNBURNT nose, sand in your toes, clear blue skies, outdoor pursuits, beer gardens, beaches and barbecues.

If you didn’t experience any of the above over the weekend, you’ve missed out – for the immediate future anyway as the azure skies and searing sun is not set to continue into the week.

With temperatures topping 26C over the weekend – yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far – the country was transformed into a radiant, glowing place, with thoughts of recession firmly put to one side, the weather putting a smile on every face, a pep in every step.
