It’s as dark as it was on the eclipse - like a sepia toned photograph!

It’s all due to dust from the Sahara.

Quite sinister looking!

I was in Durham today , it looked like the end of the world , it was even darker coming back over the a66 with the fog then I just suddenly drove out of it and it was sunny and everyone was driving around with their roofs down on the m6 !

Started off today playing golf in 20 degree heat and a bit blowy, ended up at 2:30 hanging on to the trees just to stay upright - boy it was windy! Got back as the impending apocalypse was just about to start. Then nothing happened.

Sun just going down here. Been a lovely day, if a bit blustery. Mrs G got all the washing dry. :D Cars have a covering of sand on them, though didn't notice it in the sky.
