There is now the faintest possible light in the sky over the lake.

When I was about eight years old my mum got me up in the dark to drive out into the countryside and listen to the birds waking up. She had a book with an illustration of all the birds in the dawn chorus. We sat in the dark and listened, and I was completely amazed that we did this crazy thing.

I’ve just remembered it.
