It's 08:00 in the morning, here at 55°N 4°W, and the sun will in theory rise in ten minutes. But it's still dark.
And we're still 24 days away from the turning of the year: it will get still darker before the light begins to return. And, as in every year, the warmth will lag a couple of months behind the light, retarded by the thermal mass of the atmosphere and the earth.
This is not my favourite season.
