good news for cyclists - and anyone who's not a vampire, i suppose - the evenings have started getting longer again. summer is just around the corner.

Yeah, I thought it was a LOT brighter this morning. Even at about eleven yesterday it was distinctly gloamy because of the dense rain-bearing cloud.

anyway, if you think we have it bad here - sunset in london is about 15 or 20 minutes earlier in london. so it sets before 4 this time of year. swings and roundabouts, they get brighter mornings.

I think we can all agree there's definitely a grand stretch there now.

Lovely evening just there. Really enjoyed the extra 4 seconds.
