I once had the bizarre experience of being stuffed into a little airport bus so that we could do one full loop of the plane before boarding. The Innsbruck staff insisted this was “Easyjet policy”: there should always be a bridge or a bus. Innsbruck was gorgeous enough to almost make up for it.

I love how they’re common enough that you can bump into one anywhere, and rare enough that’s it’s a real treat every time. This guy was trying to get some breakfast in Birmingham Canal.

There’s also actually a handful of different ways to measure sunrise and sunset which might also account for the length of the day not being quite what you expect! I believe Apple’s Weather app uses civil sunrise and sunset.

To quote from Wikipedia, it varies by year and it is at noon on average rather than every year.

It’s been a lovely day for walking! We did a loop from Lewes through Southease, lunch at the Abergavenny Arms in Rodmell (delicious, by the way).

Only about a third of people in the UK are less than a 30 minute walk (~2.5km) from a station.

I was there when they were installing it, it was somehow even weirder when it was half built!

YouGov poll from last year suggests it’s a bit of a class difference to have a real tree, but there’s surprisingly little effect by voting party.
