June 20th - tomorrow is the longest day!

by Saritime @ 21/06/2008 - 05:06:11

Well tomorrow is the longest day and I have to say that these late light nights are beautiful, if only they were warm as well. One of the things I noticed in India was the lack of twilight, there it changes from light to dark in a measurably short period. My friends there cannot understand the idea of light nights... How do you get the children (and you) to sleep? they ask. How indeed! Hard to believe though that after tomorrow we begin the countdown to Winter though.

I've been taking some lovely shots of skies and views in SE Scotland recently. The first is North Berwick on a school outing last week, it was not as warm as it looks!,

The second lot, Colin and I took when driving back last weekend via Silverknowes, a fab rainbow if you can spot it over Portie! The clouds were just amazing.

The next  was taken at 11.30pm driving through Edinburgh tonight after picking up daughter #2. What a kind mummy I am!
We couldn't believe the colours, we got some really surreal shots of car lights too. Some of them had us wondering if we had drink taken when we looked at them!
View down Frederick Street at 11.30pmFrederick Stret by night!... Honest!
The last is a skyline last week from our back garden at 11.45pm.

We're off down to North Berwick again tomorrow for a Cursillo event including a soup lunch, thanks to George and those at St Baldred's for that! There are fab charity shops in North Berwick so we're going down early.
