Red Sky at Night ....

Posted by Rosie


...Shepherd's Delight.
Red Sky in the Morning,
Shepherd's Warning.

This was the sky this morning just after I dropped the boys off at the bus stop. It had been even more dramatic but the morning colours were fading fast and I was lucky to get this picture before they disappeared completely.

So, acording to the Old English saying I am now wondering what the weather has in store. A quick
look at the 10 day forecast actually predicts a much brighter outlook. After several weeks of being rain and wind battered the forecast has light rain for part of the next few days and then a period of settled but much colder weather. I'm glad I found the box of gloves and hats when re-arranging the loft, Winter is well and truely here.

    Let's hope the old warnng is wrong for once and the weather continues nice, (we even have a dry day here in Oxfordshire!!).

  3. Great photo of a beautiful sky, but then most things are lovely in Normandy.

    Apart from le périphérique de Caen. That's not very nice.

  6. Well it did only rain for half the day today - the half when we were stacking the 5 cubic meters of firewood that arrived unexpectedly after lunch!

    Rural Idiocy - ah yes the periwhatsit - still not as scary as the M25 and I used to drive on that almost every day.
