Pic of the week 12/5/24
At last the skies have cleared and the temperature has risen and for the last few days we have enjoyed some wonderful early summer sunshine. On friday we ate outside for the first time this year, I have been wearing shorts (when not at work!) all week, and today I ran without gloves on for the first time. It has been wonderful, and today has been spent in a mix of sitting and chilling, and pottering in the garden, cutting back some mad growth, and planting up some geraniums (still more to do, though.) But alas, it looks like next week is a return to grey skies and rain.
The last couple of nights, the northern lights – aurora borealis – have (reportedly) been seen all the way down here. Waking up on Saturday morning to social media streams full of photos we decided to see if we could see them on Saturday night.
I couldn’t see them from the back garden, but the moon was spectacular:
I, sensibly, went to bed, but Becky decided to stay up looking out of our window
but to no avail. Although in the early morning, circa 5am, when she got up to go to the loo, the sunrise over the tor didn’t disappoint
Summer – you can’t beat it.
