Well it's now light when you awake and you can watch it get dark as you eat your evening meal. And it gets better. We are getting more than four minutes of daylight every day. Give it a week or two and the dark recedes to after seven in the evening: then we put the clocks forward.
Things are looking up on all fronts.... it's even getting warmer.
Not Ally or Jan warm, but where they need 28 °C+ plus to get their 'kinis on we can easily make do with 17 °C, or less - not that I wear a bikini you understand.
Get the Barbies cleaned up and ready to go!
I get so down when the nights start to draw in, so as soon as the shortest day is gone, I can look forward, and feel better for, the longer lighter days
