It could have been a lonely Christmas but my friends rallied around me. Our house had a Christmas dinner on Sunday night. On Monday, I had a relaxed yet productive day at work. Then I took the bus to Cambridge, where Rebecca and Ian welcomed me with open arms, food, wine and presents.

These photos are of the Cambridge sky above Jesus Green at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, Christmas day. It was spectacular.

I learned the adage as:

Red in the morning, shepherd’s warning.
Red at night, shepherd’s delight.
