There's an old saying: Every dark cloud has a silver lining. Unfortunately I saw dark clouds this morning – and I got wet. But I didn't see any silver lining until this afternoon. The sun is low in the middle of winter. Sunset today was seventeen minutes after four o'clock – the day is not long. Sunrise tomorrow will be eighteen minutes after eight o'clock – the night will be very long. We have supper in darkness and wake up in darkness as well. The middle of winter and dark nights are perfect for Christmas lights. Those in Mousehole are well-known.
