Well, really!
Trying to stay in a positive frame of mind despite Covid persisting, Government lying, and storms raging across the country can be a bit daunting sometimes. As can coming up with themes for our Stay Home Specials.
I’m sure we’ve all noticed the gradual lengthening of the days over the weeks since Christmas and I think it is always exciting to see. It turns out too that the festival of Candlemas is on 2 February. So, we took the both phenomena as our inspiration to play with the lights!
The resultant playlist was bright and shiny as you can see below. We were so dazzled by the combination of sunlight, starlight and moonlight that we had to resort to sunglasses and the effect of the strobe almost left us blinded by the light.
We threw in moments of darkness too and I was very glad to have my torch close to hand!
