Saturday's Rainbow, Sunday's Terrible Weather.

The rainbow over Broitzem village.
From my flat I have a panoramic view of the local countryside, and yesterday evening, after a shower,  I saw for the first time a complete rainbow.  These two photos almost join together to form the complete bow.  It was a lovely spectacle and lasted about 15 minutes.  Today has been a typical English summer day, wet windy and cold. I am still weary after my trip to Dresden last week and feel  bone idle.  I don't think I can be  bothered to go out.

I was going to a concert in the Cathedral at 5pm with music by Mozart, the violin concerto in A Major KV218 and Schubert's  Symphony No. 5 in B Major.  The concert is given by the Cathedral Symphony Orchestra.   It has been pouring with rain for the last two hours and is very windy.  No, I haven't the energy to catch the bus and tram into the city and it's very cold!   Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully dry. 

I'm hoping to visit Hamelin, of "Pied Piper" fame, which is just over an hour's train journey from BS.   Every Sunday in the town the story is re-enacted.  Now I will make yet another cup of tea and eat some more very nice chocolate biscuits.
