Saturday thought … while we are poles apart the sun shines on us both!

Although the climatic conditions in Brazil and United Kingdom are ‘poles apart’ and I have spoken this week of these extraordinary extremes.  While my daughter goes to great lengths to keep out the sun’s harmful rays in Rio; we fear the Thames breaking her banks and the devastation that might might cause to our friends and neighbours.
However,  it never ceases to amaze me  when I consider the sun so cruelly hidden by heavy storm clouds here is the northern hemisphere; shines down on my daughter two hours later … at a time when Brazil seems so far away this is very comforting. Until the clocks change again in the spring when we become 5 hours apart.
