I briefly looked for something non-weather related to say this week but it’s difficult to find something Blytonian-related that isn’t already going into one of my upcoming posts.

So I’ll tell you that it’s actually sunny right now. Not only that but it’s above 5 degrees. I’m sure this is just a brief respite before yet more heavy rain, but I’ll take it while it lasts.

Reading the Famous Five to Brodie part 4

and

Bill and Allie’s Great Adventure part 5

The Five experience the strange wailing noise along with blue, green and white lights floating in the sky outside the old cottage.

Dick felt the roots of his hair pricking. He leapt off the heather-bed and ran to the window. ‘Quick! Come and look at this!’ he cried. ‘What is it?’

They all crowded to the window, Timmy barking now as loudly as he could. In silence the others gazed at a very strange sight.

Difficult to convey blue and green lights in black-and-white, though. I showed Brodie this before I read out the next line and he was puzzled.

“Huh?… Snow?”
