Autumn on the Roof

 We've been putting a great deal of effort into the topmost part of the tower recently.  The roof room itself is becoming cosier with previously undetected underfloor air gaps being sealed.

A carefully placed fan heater below the indoor viewing platform seats has enabled a year-round opportunity to observe the seasons from on high and in comfort.  Here is early autumn yesterday* morning.  Coffee and the Telegraph cryptic Thursday* crossword**.  What's not to like?
















* Just realised Thursday wasn't yesterday.  Today is Saturday and I don't mind.  Great thing about retirement is you don't have to worry about such things as what day of the week it is.  You don't have to go to work and, better still, you don't have to go to school either.

** the Thursday crossword is unique.  Absolutely un-do-able on first acquaintance but once you've cottoned on it is an enjoyable challenge.  Brain food.

Just for fun, this was the same scene at twilight a few days later.  Note how there is blue sky up above but Settle below is in darkness:
