In the 1950's this may have been known as a 'Pea Souper'. Not quite as back in the fifties the smogs that blanketed many cities in Britain were a combination of fog and pollution chemicals such as sulphur dioxide or soot, mainly from the burning of coal and coke. Today it was just a thick fog which we'd more likely see in the autumn. After the winter past of gales and rain, its come as a surprise to wake up most mornings this week enveloped in a thick fog. Thankfully these days after the clean air act this fog is just a nuisance rather than a danger to health, so it was a moment in time I wished to record on my year journey, the passage of seasons which in a week or so will see the Equinox and day length will be longer than night for the next six months.
