Every morning from Monday to Friday, before I go to work I take the dog around the block for a short pre-breakfast stroll. This is usually at about 06:30 in the morning, so through the winter this means that I go out well before daylight. To be honest, this is a bit of a chore, especially if it's cold/wet/foggy or generally inclement.
However, this morning I did notice that it although the sun hadn't then risen, it was starting to get light. Looks like spring's on the way...
