'The Inconstant Moon....'

While the moon has always been important to me - it is one of my first memories, and I was even told it was one of my first words - I certainly don't see it every day. 

There are several reasons, including changes in its monthly phases - "the inconstant moon" -  my own preoccupations - and, of course, the Edinburgh weather!

But when I do see it, as this morning around 7 o'clock, it is a sure way of lifting my spirits.
