After days of rain I went out for my usual walk today- bright blue sky and sunshine, I was well wrapped up. Fewer people around but most making comments about the weather- the local lake was so bright reflecting the winter sun; a very still heron had found a sunspot where he stood like a statue.
I called in one of the cafes on my way back for a bowl of carrot and parsnip soup, so thick and warming!
Of course people chatted to each other, all good humoured and relaxed.
I bought cake to take home as my sister came round for a warm cuppa and a slice of coffee and walnut cake in my cosy house.
What is not to like?
That is the best bit, I agree.
But I hate the long darkness. That above all.
But I love twinkly lights everywhere.
And despite all, I love the changing seasons. Winter is just about 4/5 weeks too long. Let's dump February.
