And there's Mother's quote "the nights are getting very dark now", as she hands over the electric torches.
For those who don't live at the lake's latitude, late August really marks an increasing ramp up of the night-time hours. Night is 8.2 hours on the 1st, 9.1 hours by the 15th, and 10.2 by the 31st, with twilight getting proportionally shorter too.
Hmmm. I'm leaning to late August myself, now!
