It's nearly 11pm and it's still light enough to read outside here
It's a great time of year to wander and camp Funny how little sleep many of us need at this time of year too

cheers,
Toddy

I miss Kinloss I know we shouldn't wish away time, but I look forward to when we start to look for a house to settle, we will be around Moray for sure!

That big old moon in the sky is helping too, I might even leave my headtorch at home for a trip to the hills this weekend.

Nice thread from all of you oop North! And spectacular photos to boot! I can remember flying around the the Northern Irish coast at this time of year and climbing up to play amongst the orange clouds in a royal blue sky! - it felt like I was in the middle of a cartoon, the light was so surreal... Living now in France the seasonal light changes are not so pronounced - although it has other advantages; and when in the tropics I used to like being able to set my watch by the sunset (and normally the rain too).

As an expat Southerner it would be easy for me to say "You've three days left of this before it starts turning and in six months you'll be eating lunch your by candle light!" - but this thread gives me a fine nostalgia for those, oh so long, summer days - as well as the joys of overcoming the challenges of harsh winters. I guess that's one of the fundamental pleasures of "Northern" living - the polarisation of the seasons...

The other day it wasn't totally dark here till half ten then it was light again at half three.

It's true about needing less sleep when it's light 20 hours a day!

The funny thing is, we don't seem to get the flip side in winter - it's still light for way more than 4 hours a day even in December (more like 7 or 8)
