29 January

In the latter part of the afternoon the rain departs and the sky clears to allow for a vibrant sunset.

Walking homeward, I see the moon, almost full, shining a brilliant silver/white in the darkening sky.  It looks like the most perfectly lit Chinese lantern, suspended above the landscape.

When I arrive at the cottage, I turn at the front door and look back, to see it peering at me through the branches of the trees opposite.  I think of Shakespeare’s Robin Starveling, carrying a lantern and a thorn bush in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
