St Swithuns Day


There is a saying in the UK that if it rains on St Swithuns day it will do so for 40 days & nights. It did not look like it would when I took these photos.


 This was taken around 2 pm in the courtyard at work
This was around 21:30 in the evening.
St Swithun's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St Swithun's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain nae mare
Taking part in Skywatch Friday

I missed the skytrails from some planes a bit earlier then had to sort out which way look more dramatic to get the first one, the second is looking out of my drive.
