A winters tale



First lunar eclipse since the 1630's on winter solstice. I got The Bear out of bed at 07:20 to watch it and she absolutely loved. it.

She sat on a dining room chair transfixed looking from our window over the back garden. She said it made her day. It was rather spectacular.

The view we watched was absolutely marvellous as it turned
turned red and into a 'diamond ring' before it sunk over the hills, and it had an amazing 3D effect.

But the pictures I took were so wobbly as to be unusable. Luckily, Look North, broadcast live from Leeds, was cool. So I took a picture of the TV screen. So there :)
