Thought I might as well go the whole hog and show you some piccies of our sunset this evening. It started like this: Progressed to this: and ended up looking like this just before darkness fell:
hot hot hot! And I don't know about Scotland Eileen, but here in Essex it is still light at 5pm. YIPPEE
If it's a clear day then, yes EJ, it gets dark around 5ish. If it's been raining or is overcast it seems to get darker quicker though. My solar lights have actually been coming on at night so it must be nearly spring!!!!!!
