Kept company by the early morning squawks of the odd lake bird, and the gentle trundling of the little robotic lawnmower trimming the grass of the hotel we were staying in beneath me, I did wonder whether I was perhaps of sane mind sitting out on a freezing balcony whilst the rest of my family slumbered on soundly in their nice warm beds inside…<\/p>\n

But if this view wasn’t good enough reason to get up at an ungodly hour last Saturday morning, then I don’t know what is…. \u00a0 Good things come to those that wait as they say.<\/p>\n

And as the view went from rolling mists far on one side of the lake, to a brilliant red on the other, this was gradually followed by the first real light switching on the autumn colours of the surrounding trees. \u00a0Just like another favourite sunrise<\/a> of mine I knew it had been well worth the early start.<\/p>\n

And as I was contemplating going back to bed, a small sleepy girl suddenly appeared next to me rubbing her eyes whilst muttering “wow Mummy, that’s amazing”. \u00a0 “Gorgeous isn’t it?” I replied. \u00a0 \u00a0“Yes” she answered, ” I wonder how much they cost”. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It turns out she appreciates the fine engineering of robotic lawnmowers much more than any such view. \u00a0 Her father’s daughter indeed…<\/p>\n
