The edge of troubled weather

Yesterday evening was more calm and drier than most weather of late. Across the plain, a disused airfield, the sky was colourful. Lit and textured like a child's crepe paper stained glass christmas decoration. Yellow glowed through textured blues and greys, a celestial candle in the West that sank slowly towards a wooded horizon as I approached.

As storm "Gertrude" dances in the North of the kingdom we are spared her gratuitous violence, merely swooshed and swished by her skirts as she whirls up there. The trees in the garden shook this morning; some in apparent  mirth, some in anger and the birds kept to cover.
