I had a little moan to Fiona today about how it is still dark at 5.30am. She said that she did not think it was as dark as you think. She offered to open the window to enable me to see clearly. I declined the offer and thought I'd check when I went on my walk. But I think it was still pretty dark

However - the orchids, camellias and rainbows still offer colour.
