When you break your routine and get up at say, 5 am and listen to the radio and look at the dawn you see and hear a quite different world to one you are used to. Radio 4 doesn’t run overnight so they join up with the BBC World Service and you hear al kinds of interviews and programmes you never get to hear (and some you do). Outside you see a world that has turned to dew but not to day, and the last of the night animals are turning in. The fields look deferent, as they become familiar and the air smells different.
If one happens to be wide awake the differences are even more marked.
