Pour yourself a large version of your favourite drink and come with me on a 10 minute tour of Illuminate The Darkness

Wow, that was the most beautiful tour I have had the pleasure to see.

Not a full moon, but a totally cloud free night. I awoke today to frosted roofs. Within an hour it was raining. 7 pm now and it's clear again and looking like being a frosty night.

From my bedroom window last Wednesday (April 8) afternoon. I don't have much of a view, I'm closely surrounded by other buildings, so the weather vane on The Chapel (now residential apartments) on The Plains stands out.

My daily view sat in front of my laptop during lockdown, through my living room window. Taken in the afternoon; on clear days like this a photo would be difficult in the morning, as it would be directly into the sun.

Trouble is, I have to close the curtains on sunny mornings so I can see the screen.

I missed this yesterday; didn't even know it was going to happen. The first time in over 50 years working horses have been see in Totnes town centre.

They're planning to do it again on Sunday 19th July: I've got my diary marked!
