A sign of the unexpected sun today was the rainbow maker spinning wildly in the back bedroom - it did not last long!

I have never seen a rainbow maker before. I guess that is one of your diamonds suspended from it.

I'm not familiar with rainbow makers, but I do love the different tones in that suspended crystal.

@barrowlane Ha! ha! I wish (it is my birthday on the 7th of February - fingers crossed!!) @tristansmum My Mum has one of these down in Cornwall. They are strange things that you stick to a window and they have a tiny solar panel which, when in direct sunlight, powers the coloured cogs to turn the crystal. Then the room is filled with little moving rainbows from the light falling through the crystal. Colin calls the rainbows 'peppies' which I have never heard of before?!
