#365daysofbiking Glad:

Monday February 22nd 2021 – As if to answer my prayer for colour, my working from home exercise ride took me out at sunset, and I enjoyed it more than I expected, finding myself heading toward Chasewater on the canal. 

On the bend near Newtown, looking toward the Chase Road bridge I saw the sky reflected in the canal, and although nearly dark, it was most gorgeous golden red.

Usually about now we go through a period of getting decent sunsets. It doesn’t last long, two or three weeks maybe - and there is a similar effect for a while when the nights close in in Autumn. 

It’s one of the markers of entering and ending the winter darkness. 

The period in spring always makes me glad - I hope it’s started.
