Re: Gloomy Winter Days.
I've always thought it a pity that humans can't hibernate - I'd be first in the queue. Curled up all cosy in a nice warm bed, and the added advantage that when you wake up you've lost several stone!
Next best thing is to curl up in a corner of the sofa with a good book and a large drink.
Of course, if the lottery came up, you could always b****r off to Barbados - that should cheer anyone up!

Lol, if you keep on going north Spug you can have winter for eight months of the year in Finland. Twenty two hours of darkness per day.

Re: Gloomy Winter Days.
No H.R. I think there are a few of us with a fit of the 'glumps'.......I think I might just go and have some liquid sunshine......a snort of Croft Original.

Re: Gloomy Winter Days.
I know how you feel Margaret, I wasn’t able to sleep last night and ended up staying in be to lunch. It’s dull and dank up here, I’m sat having a brew and listening to Radio Lancashire on the web. The only highlight today is Stanley’s 1-0 up at Canvey Island.
It’s a crap weekend this week, walking tomorrow is out due to the distance and the state of the car which goes in Monday morning so I’ll have to clean the Lake District out of it in the morning. I hate having to do that.

Honestly.
It is a bit gloomy, but once we get past the shortest day I feel so much better. Infact there is a definete stirring, but I won't go into that.
Just go and hunt for some snowdrops. Then it'll be crocuses, then daffs....then SUMMER will be nearly here.
