This is taken from a couple of miles from my home.
This was the first time in 9 weeks, for me**, that the sun had set from anything other than a cloudless sky.
**I haven’t been in Macclesfield the full time, I spent 2 weeks in north west scotland, so it’s possible there was cloud at home in that time.
