Last night's beaming moon and the fuzzy whiteness of today's frosty hedges show how clear the skies are. They explain today's crisp sunlight. Blue skies make blue shadows and that was good for painting, morning and afternoon.
Twenty minutes in Cardington - the old telephone box, the slanting shadows and the church tower rising behind. And an hour in late afternoon in the Ravensden churchyard as the stone and the Western sky yellowed. Just about bearable before the feet went numb. Beautiful sunset but treacherous roads.
