The Twelve Blogs Of Christmas - 2

Did you see the moon yesterday? There was a complete lunar eclipse. It started at around half six in the morning and went on for around an hour. I was out in the big field behind my house watching it. It was ten below freezing but worth it. The last time there was a lunar eclipse on the shortest day of the year was 400 years ago. They all said that the moon went a kind of copper red. It sounds like it was a bit embarrassed by it all. Well, I'm not great with colours but it did go weird. Because of the way it happened you could really see that the moon was a ball and not just a disc like a big old dinner plate up in the sky. It was well cosmic!!
