Today I watched the sun set over Wendover woods at 4.45pm and after a clear blue day dusk did not fall until 5.30 - the lightest evening since the clocks went back and we lost an hour of precious daylight last October 31st. The mornings are lighter too with sunrise at 7.42, the earliest since the last of November. My bantams tell me that dawn is an hour or two before that even but as I am not a morning person my head is still down then. Something to celebrate then as I did by getting away from work early enough for a walk on the hills. The sap is rising!
