Has anyone taken the time to go outside and look skywards today? It's a beautiful day here in north Wiltshire. There are clouds, but they're very high and wispy, some of them have fascinating shapes, I think they're Cirrus clouds, althought I'm no expert.
Cirrus fibratus wiltsman otherwise known as Mare's Tails. The sky in N Wales had a lovely formation of them this morning whilst we were gardening. " She who must be obeyed" and I actually sat and talked about them as being a sign of good weather for a few days at least, and I threw in the comment 'my Mother's father called them Mares Tails'.
Here in N. Yorks it is a cloudless day, and as good as my eyesight is I am afraid I cannot see the ones in Wiltshire.
I must admit I enjoy cloud gazing, especially from the comfort of a sun lounger with a chilled glass of wine to hand :-)
When I was about 6 my 9-year-old sister who knew everything, so I thought, pointed to a cloud and said, 'They can see that same cloud in Mexico'.
So how come you can't see the clouds in Wiltshire, MrsO?
