Outside my Window

We had a sunny morning today, the first for what seems like months. Since it was probably July since the sun last shone properly upon the curtains, everything seemed autumnal, with the sun noticeably lower in the sky that when we last saw it at 7am and the orange glow that disappears so soon after sunrise.

With no haze and a clear morning, I appreciated again the view we have from our bedroom window, best seen in early morning or late evening, when the sun is behind our house and shining upon the city to our south. Moonface has it better than I do, as that particular aspect is better seen from her side of the bed. It's a good, interesting view, with green gardens in the foreground and a cityscape folding into the distant hills. It's possible to pick out a fair number of landmarks, from the ziggurat of St Paul's church to the big hotel and the distant water-tower towards (I think) Brislington. Moving from here, as we must sometime in the future, is going to be difficult.
