Already looking forward to April

Holiday centres take on a weird, other-worldly feel when the weather is bad. It’s a bit like looking at pictures of a Christmas dinner when you’re already full, or being told about a great shop that has recently closed down. Actually, those aren’t great examples of what I’m trying to say, but they’ll do for now.
The point is – our sites are created and maintained to be colourful areas of fun and vacation, and now it’s dark and drizzly all day, they seem a bit out of place and unusable. Haunting, in a way.
Hasn’t it been bloody cold in the past few days? After that lovely, long, lazy Autumn that stretched nicely into mid-November, Winter has arrived with a vengeance and in full force. I’m wearing warmer clothes, but by the time I’ve walked from the car park to the office I’m shivering and reaching for the coffee pot.
