This shot was taken as I walked through Chiswick this evening, at the start of what turned out to be a really nice sunset. Apart from having to explain the “Red sky at night” concept to my American colleague Milly a few weeks ago, sunsets always remind me of these wise words from my friend Ali:

“Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight
Red sky at morning, shepherd’s warning
Minced lamb and mashed potato, shepherd’s pie”

I think we can all take something from that, can’t we? :D

I was tempted to use *this* photo for today’s entry – but having watched the Springwatch “Snow Watch” special earlier, I decided that this guy feeding the birds on Turnham Green was a nicer summary of the day. A day when we suddenly got an extra does of snow, just when we thought it was all melting. The snow itself didn’t last long – even as I sit here this evening, I can hear it all drip-drip-dripping outside our window. It was lovely while it lasted though.
