Luna

“The moon is very pretty tonight.” I whisper out loud, to no-one but myself, watching my breath go upwards then disappear into the cold spring evening sky.

I have always loved the moon. As a child, I read books about the solar system and space travel and wished that I would one day get to visit the moon. I would grow older and realise that I lived in Scotland and there wasn’t much of a space exploration program available. But a boy could dream!
