Happy Summer Solstice, Joni

[Aperitif]

As we are now embracing the 'cloud' for all our storage needs...so is the Solstice Sun. Birds were on duty at 03:47 this morning...

Wide awake at 03:30...couldn't get back so sleep, so I wandered down to the river. This was the closest we got to a sunrise. 10 minutes later the sky was a uniform dull grey.

I was awake at around 4am this morning. A bit iffy weather wise. A family of blackbirds has produced 2 broods of chicks. Early this morning all 4 chicks from the second brood have flown the nest. Happy solstice.

Rudely awoken at around 6am by Noisey Rooster - not much of a summery day out there. Grey, grey and more grey.

Will be moaning about the long, dark nights soon.

Have a wonderful longest grey day everyone.

Have I got to dance naked on the lawn or somesuch?

I was out on my bike this morning. Nothing to do with solstice, I didn't even realise, it's just that it's cooler. Too hot to ride later in the day.

I got up early but let's not go into that.

Lovely image, Arthur. Unlike the one of Rich that arises... It was nice yesterday - a Sunday sun day son day for some...

Left Leeds about 1.30am - rode through to Brimham Rocks. Shortest night - means the longest dawn! It started lightening about 3.15 - and just got better and better. Caught a magnificent sunrise. Glorious riding. Had porridge, then Manx kippers (aye - and kippers cooked in the open taste sublime) on slabs of good bread at Brimham Rocks. Wandered round - just us and the jackdaws. Rode back down to Harrogate for the train to Leeds.

Absolutely brilliant ride - and saw one vehicle in 7 hours. Happy solstice - you betcha!
