Last night as we were getting ready to tuck into bed, Camilla peeked out the window and thought she could see the Northern Lights. We turned off the lights, wrapped ourselves in blankets and stepped out into the cold night to investigate. Before long a green and purple symphony of lights was dancing over head, changing shape by the second as it grew and stretched across the sky. We watched mesmerized, until we were shaking with cold. Lily's little voice broke the quiet as she snuggled her big sister, "Look! Dey're Dancin'!" A shooting star fell just over the roof of the house and I found myself wishing for more moments like this, wrapped in blankets in the still of the night, gazing at the sky in wonder and awe.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
~Roald Dahl
