Red Sky At Night...

...Shepherd's Delight or Sailor's Delight?


What do you say, Shepherd's or Sailor's?


We have a difference of opinion in our house.


I've always said Shepherd's Delight.


There was a frost this morning after last night's red sky, but the sun is shining now and it's a beautiful, crisp day.

    Shepherd's Delight at our house. The sky is just beautiful on your photos Jo. We've had fog for the last 2 days, and I actually can't remember the last time I saw the sun!

    I say shepherd's delight and I'm a southerner. I don't really understand that saying to be honest, but I do like your photo of that beautiful sunset.

    We say "shepherd's delight" here. But then my mum was a farmer's daughter so that might be why.

    Despite living on the coast, it was always shepherds delight. But as Anne says, my fathers family were farmers so that might affect it. I never heard any of the sailors at the harbour where I worked use sailors delight either though... x

    Thanks for all your comments. I think it must be Sailor's in America and Shepherd's in England. I don't know why we have a mixture of the two in our house then, we don't have any American blood in our veins.
