Yes, increasingly as I get older, I feel the need for some light rather than the low cloud we seemed to have for much of 20 12. I have just had a couple of weeks in Greece, it was bliss to have bright blue skies, and sun. One morning last August, I opened the curtains to see yet another day of low grey skies, rain etc and had to stop myself closing them and getting back into bed. I have inflammatory arthritis, and definitely feel better in a warmer climate - but I love the north west.....
