An Octave

I did not know that.

Seven colours in a rainbow, seven notes in a musical octave.

Apparently, back in the day, Newton had only five colours listed in his rainbow's spectrum - Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet - but he liked the analogy of seven to match the musical scale so slotted in Orange and Indigo to fit. Glad he did that. Roy G Biv's easier to remember than RYGBV.

Another stop at the bing and the sloping bench (it IS the bench, had a spirit level with me this time). It's open to the elements up there and pretty chilly but I can foresee a few refreshing stops being made up there over the winter to eat my ploughman's and take in the views. Come to think of it, I should maybe go for a more traditional 'pit-piece' that the miners round here would have had with them, which was generally some cheese between a couple of thick slices of bread spread with strawberry or raspberry jam. Mmmmm... maybe I'll just stick to the Greggs actually.

Wednesday done. Not long 'til Friday now.
