We have lived here for twenty years but I have just found something new about this house. We have a balcony from our bedroom and at 7.30 pm in July you can catch the evening sun for a few minutes as it comes out from behind the trees and before it goes below the roofs opposite. I have found this, and it can only work for three or four weeks or so in the year, because this is a new time for me, when I often sit and think or just sit, as Anna goes to sleep.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We gave no time to stand and stare. [W.H. Davies]
