Cheery

A week today will be my birthday. I just wanted to mention that quickly at the start, to get it out of the way, and now I promise not to mention it again. Not today, anyway.
It’s been pretty awful weather in Suffolk these past few days. Strong winds, bitterly cold and plenty of rain. The sky has that horrible look to it that always drags me down at this time of year - a uniform dull grey colour that extends from horizon to horizon. It’s like looking at a really boring carpet in an old people’s home.
To keep my spirits up I’ve been researching some footpaths and bridleways that I can explore on my bicyclette once Spring arrives. I’d forgotten that we haven’t yet seen this area in the glory of Springtime so that’s something to look forward to. And it isn’t that far away now! The clocks change in 11 weeks or so, the nights are pulling out nicely and we’re already almost halfway through the month.  Next thing we know it’ll be February and, as we found last year, February can be bright and sunny with temperatures in the teens. Of course it can also be minus fifteen and covered in snow, but I’m refusing to think about that.
