Eventually a bit of colour arrived, just before the sun itself arose and disappeared into the bank of cloud but it was all the nicer for its subtlety.

The skies cleared and it was indeed a lovely sunny day.
Long Nanny contre jour
blue skies and blue sea (compare to yesterday!)
Very bonny horses with not much beach to trot along due to the tide.

The early bird catches the worm.
Even on Sunday.
At sunrise (on Sunday morning) I still lay in my bed for another three hours, the duvet right up to my ears.
On the other hand I have to bounce out of my bed prior to sunrise to welcome the dawn on my way to work during a regular work week.
Have a pleasant week, Andy,
regards,
Uwe.
Thanks for your comments. I've never been one to lie in bed, I normally have to force the dog to get up too! He would happily lie in..
I really love the winter sun, too, because the light is much warmer than in other seasons (presumed you have more or less blue sky and not too much clouds).
Regularly, several times a year, I try to go to the German North Sea coast. Especially to my favourite island Sylt.
If you have a look to Google maps, you see that Northumerland and Sylt are nearly of the same latitude.
The main difference is: At Northumberland you have to jump out early in the morning to capture the rising sun right above the horizon - with or without a dog). On Sylt you may stay in bed much longer and can take great sunsets right to the sea horizon in the late afternoon (winter) or in late evening (summer). ;-)
Regards,
Uwe.
