I’m enjoying the gorgeous sunsets we’re having. The
view from my office window is awful, but if I find an excuse to wander across
the car park to the supermarket (which I do most afternoons around 4ish) I can
look across a nearby field and see the end of the day in all its glory. I
always moan about Winter but I’m realising that I love it from now until the
time of my birthday. For the next couple of months it tends to be fresh, bright
and bearable, and if we do have a bad turn of weather it normally involves
snow, which I love. It’s after that that it feels like a slog through dark
treacle until we change the clocks in March.
So I’m trying to stay as positive as possible about
it all and thinking of ways I can get this ‘enjoying it’ mindset to last
through January and February. Maybe a nice little family holiday in early
Spring would help? A chance to go somewhere warm and get rid of the aches and
pains of a British Winter? The knowledge that it was there waiting for me would
surely help me on days when I’m struggling with darkness (mental and actual).
Yes – I feel a trip to some travel agency websites coming on.
Mind you – we’re likely to have a No-Deal Brexit at
the end of January, so God knows what that will do to holiday prices and the
chances of going anywhere.
Suddenly I feel pessimistic again.
