At this time of year, I get up in the dark, even on WFH days, go out and come back in the dark, and risk never seeing the daylight.  So it was important this morning when glancing up from my computer I glimpsed a glorious sunrise to stop work and savour its beauty, because in a few minutes it would have gone.

I even went outside, feeling the chill air on my face, and the frost beneath my feet, to see it from another angle...

As the poet once wrote, 'what i this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare...'

This morning I am grateful for the wonder of the sunrise over a small town in the north of England.
