So This is How it Was
By Josie
04 December 2007

We've had such a wonderful sky tonight here in Yorkshire?  Have you also?  Have you had time to study your skyline?  I stood amazed at the beauty of it, and, believe it or not, the wind was blowing quite warmly on my face.  They said the wind came from the Tropics today.

You can see that someone photographed the sky from their part of Yorkshire and sent it to the weatherman:

 








THIS IS HOW IT WAS



                              Take paper, paint and brush

                              Swirl whites, blues, purples and pinks,

                              Golds, creams and paint, paint, paint.

                              Etch across the skyline thick black trunks

                              And fine black fingers reaching into the sky.

                              Call it a Yorkshire skyline at sunset on

                              Tuesday4 December 2007:  or call it Heaven.

                             
                               But don't say that Winter is dreary.

This was also on national radio - Five Live - as I was driving home today. Sadly the sky didn't have a hint of red, just fading damp, blanket grey into darkness.  
 
Has to get a little colder here before we get a good sunset - and stop raining!

Josie this is all sweet  
and honest 
 
Your writing to me is frustrating in that it refuses to jump boundaries 
 
but maybe that's just silly me

How lucky you are up their amongst beauty and nature. Essex is rather uninspiring unless you want to write about hoodies and white vans!
