Chasing the moon

On Monday evening at about 10.00, my daughter took the most stunning picture of the moon and it’s reflection on the sea. The night before last we waited up to see if we could see the moon - we didn’t. So last night at about 9.30, we decided to head off to the beach with the pup, our picnic chairs, blankets and a flask of tea to wait for the moon to show, reasoning the moon had nowhere to hide on the beach. At about 10.30, a lady walking her dog on the beach said that the moon wouldn’t be rising until after midnight. So after finishing our tea, we decided to head off home and wait. At 12.15, we were treated to the most stunning strawberry moon. It was just magnificent. You can understand why the moon has been revered.
