Helium and Candles

 Good news…a photo printed in ‘Yours’ magazine, which means a cheque is on the way.  They kindly said they would be pleased to hear from me again…so I have sent off another photo with a little poem about Devon in Summer. 

     The week ended with a bang or rather a burst of ‘happy birthday’ as a group of us celebrated the 190th birthday of Sir Norman Lockyer with a picnic and cupcakes decorated with sunspots.  Sir Norman discovered helium in the sun long before it was discovered on Earth and deserves wider recognition for his achievements.  Some of his relatives joined us which was amazing.
