            I’ve just seen B and M off to cubbing.

            We caught the Dawn at that most beautiful instant.  In the East the Sky was pink fading to pale blue with snow-white cloud-bellies.

            Directly overhead a single Star still shone in the deep shining dark blue.

            Slightly to the West, in a shining white ring, the Moon still shone bright silver in the Night Sky.

            On the ground the mist still clung to valleys and hills so that the dark trees grew out of a pale Sea.

            Five minutes later, it has gone.  Grey cloud is following the pink and pale up from the East.  I have just seen what I thought was an exceptionally bright star there which turned out to be the headlights of an aeroplane heading for Gatwick.  I can no longer see the Star overhead.  The Moon still shines but more dimly now, and without its ring, in the blue Sky.  Only a huge vapour trail catches the fire of the Sun and sets a flame across the Sky.
