Last Monday I wrote about the full moon I saw in an advertisement for an exhibition (about pirates). There was a full moon that night, but I didn't see it. The night sky was too cloudy. I'll try to see the next full moon, and the next after that! I have a calendar with all the full moons. It gives the precise time for each 100% illumination. The moon now is 93% sunlit. The next full moon will be on Wednesday, 12th February. There are names given to the full moons (in Farmers' Almanac), but some of them are not relevant for Cornwall. There's not a single wild wolf here wandering around in January. And can we expect snow in February? We'll see. Perhaps there'll be snowdrops.
