Night and day, shadow and light
Sunday 11th of February 2018
I didn’t really appreciate just how much of one’s time a baby takes up until Emily was born. It’s not even just things like rarely having a moment alone; it’s the other stuff, like major limits on spontaneity, especially in winter. Zoe and I can’t just decide to go out somewhere now, as we need to consider how accessible it will be with a baby and maybe pram. Consequently this leaves less time for…

Further darkness
Saturday 13th of January 2018
As is common this time of year, the sky was quite heavily overcast.

Winter Sun
Tuesday 16th of December 2014

At a latitude of around 52°, by mid-December there’s a mere 7 hours and 45 minutes of daylight, and the sun barely reaches 14° above the horizon, so shadows are long throughout the day. tree shadows on a footpath Lowestoft south beach promenad 12:30, and the sun is at its highest point of th…
