Colours Of The Rainbow

That long stretch of the M74 from Glasgow to Gretna always feels like an eternity. I was driving it yesterday, and the weather was pretty poor to say the least.

But….

Oh my God! What a Rainbow! The best ever! Worthy of a super nova of superlatives and some hyper-exclamatory exclamation marks to top them off!!!!!!!!

Honestly, for about forty minutes we were driving towards it, spread across the whole of the landscape in front of us. Never dimming, or shrinking. Just a wall of colour against a dark slate background.

And all the while Little Miss Sunshine smiling at us bashfully from behind my shoulder, as though to say “Yeah, shucks, I did that … with a bit of help from my mates The Raindrops, of course.”

Absolutely wonderful.

And if you were to ask me “Can you tell me the colours of the rainbow?”….well, yes, I can as it happens. Better than I could before.

With a bit of help from my mates, The Grandweans, of course.
