A strangely mixed day of nothing really


Today I woke to the first really cold day of this year. OK, so it was only a degree or two below but, hey, this is Middle England after all. A rather ordinary, uneventful day at work ensued, though I was somewhat numbed at settling this month's credit card bill. Gulp. Leaving work this evening the air was chill; owls were calling and the sky was inky black. And the other great thing about working in the country is the lack of light pollution; even before 6pm the stars stand out like diamonds in stark contrast to the surrounding velvet blackness. The moon followed me home too; I got this chance of photographing it playing backdrop to historic Fotheringhay Church, one of the most stunning and significant historic buildings in England.
