Looking south-east over Bishopthorpe Tennis Courts.
At 7.40 this morning, I drew back the curtains to find the world bathed in a stunning glow. A flock of birds took off; silhouetted against the sky. I grabbed my camera to snap a few pictures before the scene changed, quite quickly, into something less than dramatic.
The Met Office has been forecasting the return of colder weather and alerting us to a high risk of snow in the next few days. However, it looks as though our ancestors' methods of predicting the weather may hold a degree of accuracy. Will the morning's display prove the shepherd's warning? We'll just have to wait and see!
