And so to bed....

...been watching the forecasts and predictions for a few days, weather seemed to be conspiring against us for clear skies, but I thought, what the hell, let's just balance the camera on that pile of books in the bedroom windowsill.

and 25 seconds later... 10 second exposure, 2.5 seconds to run downstairs, 5 seconds to grab coat, tripod and boots, and 7.5 seconds of rash promises to negotiations with MrC&D to ensure some company and we were out in the dark with the torch, hot footing it up the road away from the eight street lights that are the bane of my life.
