When I lived in the Middle East, the daylight hours were pretty much set in stone.

5:30-6:30am was usually when sunrise happened and 6pm – 7pm was when sunset happened. The sunset could be absolutely gorgeous and during the winter months, the weather was gorgeous.

Now I’m back in the U.K., I’m cherishing the longer days. I finished my show at 9:45pm and cycled home and could still see the sunlight.

The mountains and city of Cardiff became a silhouette in the darkness. Lights glistened across the river, and after a pretty horrendous month of persistent rain, we finally had a clear sunny day that had a hint of freshness about it.

I look forward to a summer with long days, hotter weather and long days of daylight.
