Bristol Temple Meads in the January sunshine

Luckily, Friday the 13th brought some sunshine for the southwest. These two photos were taken while waiting for my train west from Bristol Temple Meads to Newport before heading north to Hereford where I had arranged to visit my aunty and uncle. The sun belies the temperature, it was a cold January day. Up until this point it had barely stopped raining since I returned from France on 15th December, so it was nice to see some blue sky.
