The Light Fantastic

It was there, this morning.

An almost imperceptible glow that tinged the horizon ever so slightly red against the black of the night sky. After the long dark winter months the light was coming back into the world.

I know that I won’t see a proper sunrise for another two or three weeks and that the last of the winter weather is still to come but that hint of colour has lifted my spirits. Soon there will be birdsong to greet the dawn, green shoots will start to poke through the loam and not long after that the wood will be transformed by the bluebells and snowdrops.

Spring is on the way …
