One of my most beautiful moments was in my little house in the Italian countryside at about 2.am, when I woke up thinking I'd left the lights on, because normally it's so totally dark.
But no, it was the wonder of a full moon illuminating the landscape like a searchlight. Amazing. Fantastic. And Breathtaking.
But look out of your window tonight - can you see the darkness? Or has your area been Tangoed? Over 80% of Britain’s population have never seen a proper dark sky because of light pollution. Missing magic!
I'm bewildered about why people think it's clever to light up their landscaping at night??? It's like they want to make sure people know that they have plants, even in the dark or something. I don't get it.
