To work.....and a little bit of magic coming back

Cycled to work in Basingstoke (19 miles there and back). A bit wet getting to work this morning. Fine on the return and very mild. Almost all of the return was after dusk. On the quieter lanes there is something quite special about cycling in the dark, though need to take care. Venus was bright and scimitar-like in the Eastern sky even before it was dark. Magical!
