HoF muscles in for a few words here. I have to take full responsibility for a wimpish escape for four nights away from the gloomy weather, and stolen from in between reponsibilities. Once, years ago, we witnessed a bunch of Japanese tourists on their annual 5 day break, marching out of a coach, taking a photo of Hadrian’s wall and then tramping off. The whole process took less than a minute. I was inclined to be scornful then, but now I am becoming convinced that a small moment of beauty is much better than no moment at all.
Afterwards we climbed up miles of switchback roads, some running like rivers, and eventually, around 4pm traversed the saddle between two mountains and plunged into instant unexpected (but hoped-for) sunshine. As we descended to the new southern coastline we left behind a wall of cloud hovering above the mountain. Then two hours of warm glory, before sunset.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. II Corinthians 4:6
And now you know why I am not normally allowed on these pages!
