Today is mid summer's day, so we go downhill from hereon in until January. Days gradually become shorter and nights longer. I like British Summer Time but wonder if we would all be better off with BST throughout the year?
Possibly the Scots would prefer GMT for the whole year. However I recall an experiment for two or three years back in the 1970s when 12 months of BST was tried. Presumably the experiment was unsuccessful, as the UK reverted to the current BST/GMT mix after some three years.
Walking on Wimbledon Common this morning even earlier than the usual 6:30 am was enjoyable. Almost empty trailer paths though there was much wildlife about including foxes and despite the former, some rabbits. The shade of the trees was welcome and there was much cooing and screeching of birds.
Yet come December and January, a torch will be needed for walking on the Common at that hour.
What goes round comes round.
