Orion (18th Dec 2009)

Everything I know about the night sky (and indeed much else in life) came from a Ladybird book, and I spend most of my time looking at the stars much like my dog looks at me when I'm speaking to him - with awe, but in total bafflement.

Constellations are random join the dots as far as I'm concerned and give me any night sky and I can show you six or seven Ploughs.

However, right now, Orion is smack in the middle of the sky and even I can't miss it. And just for a second I'm like Anne and Judy out walking, revelling in my ability to name the hills all around - but less wrongly in this case...
