GOODBYE June and good riddance. Clouds surely "busted" out all over. But let us acknowledge the elements' blessings on York.

On its first and last evenings, June endowed awesome squashed-orange sunsets over Acomb, with free viewing for those with the inclination.

My standpoint offered even more - from a cluster of chimney pots a blackbird's evensong.
