November 2006 commenced on a very sunny note with the first 6 days of the month accumulating 44 hours sunshine (almost 2/3 of the month's average sunshine). By 15th the monthly average had, in fact, been reached. This sunset was viewed from Peterborough (65 km NNW of Royston) at 1636 GMT on 5th, this being the 'dullest' day between 1st and 6th with 'only' 4.4 hours sunshine. The intensity of colour in this sunset was rapidly reached and a few minutes later the colour disappeared just as quickly. It had been a mild day with a maximum temperature of 13.0°C at Royston, after an overnight minimum temperature of 5.9°C..  This is the north face of the Parish Church of St. John the Baptist in Royston as viewed at 1348 GMT on 6th November 2006. The building  dates from the 12th Century, being a surviving part of an Augustinian priory established on the site at this time. This is the view of the church as seen from the busy Melbourn Street, but since the opening of the Royston A505 by-pass in 1982 the passing heavy traffic has been taken away from this location. At this time a gentle SW breeze of mean speed 2 knots gusting to 8 knots is drifting across the town in a temperature is 10.5°C The day maximum temperature was 12.7°C, and sunshine of 7.8 hours was recorded .  Another sunny day in the very sunny month of November 2006! A well known feature of the Royston area is Wimpole Hall (10 km N of the town), the centrepiece of the magnificent National Trust Wimpole Estate which is comprised also of gardens, parkland and a farm. The Hall is seen here at 1324 GMT on 21st November 2006. Just to the left of the picture is the start of the 3.5 km long South Avenue which was created and planted with elm trees in the early 1700's by Charles Bridgeman , the greatest landscape gardener of the day. Sadly, Bridgeman's elms succumbed to the devastating Dutch Elm disease which swept the country in the 1970's.
