Wow. We needed this,

A proper glow in the sky for a bike ride this morning, above cold frosty ground.

It seemed so unlikely I had to keep a diary to prove that it was really happening.

7.45 am – out the door

8.45 am – magical glow

9.45am – looks like it is real, it has reached the valleys

10.15 am – heading for home and I can really believe it.

And of course there was a tune buzzing through my head.

Could have been “Here comes the sun”. Was almost “Morning has broken.” with the line “Morning has broken, like the first morning”

No, the tune that stuck today and would not dislodge despite the fierce competition was “What a difference a day makes”.

Because what an uplift this was. Perhaps my first bike ride in sunshine for nearly 2 months. It isn’t essential – but it sure does help.
