Tonight….(at 2.00am on the 26th October to be precise), we in the U.K. have to put our clocks back 1 hour.
Yes, British Summer Time is over for another year, we will once again be running on Greenwich Mean Time (Real Time). So it is with very mixed feelings that we head into the darker, longer nights of the winter…..and we haven’t even had Autumn proper yet! True it will be cosy of an evening, curtains drawn, heating and lights on and with it that reluctance to go out of an evening except for something special. But it is another milestone in our lives, another marker that time does not stand still for anyone. It is little comfort to say that on the 29th March 2015 we can put our clocks forward an hour and again enjoy British Summer Time…we have yet to see what the winter has in store for us. Brrrr!
The Dual Sundial and Moon clock above can be found on the side of the Church Tower at Naunton, in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire
