always worth it

 22nd September 2022, Alnmouth, 6:30am

Here in time for sunrise.  I sat in the back of the car and watched the sunrise.

I had everything I needed; a comfy seat, a fine view and a coffee. 

The sun rose and shone brightly then disappeared into the clouds. 

Then the sound of rain on the roof mingles with the rolling of the sea and the cries of the morning gulls.

After a few minutes the sun broke through again briefly but in shades of orange instead of pink.

I don't mind that it wasn't a spectacular display.  Every sunrise is worth watching.
