Sometimes it’s the small things that we tend to overlook, isn’t it? When was the last time you saw the sunset, no, really witness it in all its glory? Tomorrow could be the day! You’ll have to start early, though. So make sure you check the sunrise time and get out of the house quickly. Take your camera along, instead of your phone, so you do just one thing – document the sunrise in all its might! Pro tip – The London Eye has a view like no other!
