Last evening, as usual, I took the dog out for her late exercise just after 10 pm. It was a most eerie feeling walking round the area with so few houses lit.
One particular house impressed me most as it was in complete darkness but with two tea lights burning on the doorstep. Furthermore it was very quiet with little traffic. When looking out of the back bedroom window it was very reminiscent of the blackout and it felt as if the sirens should sound any moment.
