It's all downhill now!

It's past Midsummer now - the nights are setting in!

Shouldn't such pessimism come under the Stormy Weather thread?

It already has, Martin Handley was quoted as saying much, the same seems like October here - I'll go for my walk now before it gets dark...

Not that I'm casting any aspersions, but that is the sort of remark beloved of Scottish grannies: "Ye'd better pit on yer semmit..... the nights are fair drawing in."

I didn't know I'd had a Scottish blood relative until about a year ago, when an uncle revealed my great grandmother originally came from Scotland. Her hair was red, too, apparently!

The arctic tern has the solution. Migrating from the arctic to the antarctic circle it is thought to see more daylight than any other living creature. Sorry, that was my tweet of the day.

No pessimism from me. I delayed my trip west for four days, due to the inclement weather. Arrived on the beach just an hour ago. Barely managed to pitch the tent before it got too dark (glorious near-full moon notwithstanding). Next to no breeze as the direction of the wind is from over the cliffs behind me. Crossed fingers for a largely clear sunrise.

Where are you Bryn?

[Bryn]

Near Labrador Bay, Between Teignmouth and Torbay.

Sounds great! How long will you be there for? What's the sea gonna be like?

[Bryn]

Just a very short break until Wednesday evening. Sun rose in a sky a bit too clear for an interesting photograph. Sea is currently like a duckpond.

I don't know too much about Scottish grannies, but I can just hear my (very Hampshire country) Mum saying that!

Bryn. To 'get back to nature' completely, you need to bin that gadget from which you are posting! (It's quite something to get a signal under a cliff in Devon.) Anyway, it looks as if you might have a few good-weather days. Wednesday seems best on the West Country forecast...but they're often wrong.
