Clouds at sunset

Winter Solstice sunset

 

The clouds that did their best to hide sunrise this morning, did their damnedest to hide sunset tonight, again they teased glory before again crowding the horizon with thick grey clouds. (shakes fist at the clouds) Though the just born Sun was having none of it and when the clouds thought they'd won he shone through illuminating the the very last moments of the day in salmon hues before disappearing below the horizon. The days get longer and lighter from here on in my friends. May this turn of the wheel see y'all well served in the fields of flags, flax, fodder and frig and all else that you'd need or desire. Solstice Blessings y'all /|\

Saharan sunset

Apparently it's dust from the Sahara that's creating the warm hued sunsets and sunrises of recent days. Very nice too.

Mudeford quay

 

We used to holiday each year in Cornwall, we loved it, and as you'd expect every day we'd find ourselves somewhere on the coast. This evening I was sat on the edge of the harbour at Mudeford Quay watching the Sun's westward transit, around me the sound of happy chatter, the smell of fish and chips, on the water swans, gliding paddle boarders and the parade of small boats making their way single file up The Run into the harbour at days end, and my mind drifted off; then the dawning realization, this feels just like Cornwall. A warm wave of nostalgia washed over me, then I thought, why don't we come here more often? How could we neglect this local gem. One of the aspects we loved about Cornwall is right here at the end of the road, always has been, and we're such rare visitors. The type of dawning realization that experience tells me I'm undoubtedly destined to repeat.
