Goodbye, fireworks; hello grey gloom!

Well, that's it for light and colour this month. This week's little flurry of firework fun is already over, or as I put it in Remember, remember! (For kids page): 

For a few magic minutes, we all gaze.
Then we have to wait another
three-hundred-and-sixty-five days.

Or is it a leap year?

No, there's nothing for it now but to face up to what must surely be Britain's most unique and challenging feature: November gloom. I'll be taking down my Hallowe'en spooks and firework sparks from the poetry pages here, and replacing them with...?  We'll have to see. Keep an eye out for new themes on all pages, plus something a bit different on its way to my blog posts....

Watch out for the arrival of Comedy Couplets on future posts: first one turning up tomorrow!
