When I wrote yesterday’s blog I had no idea it was the last one of January. Somehow I missed the anticipation of the end of the longest month.

Which is a sign, I suppose, that taking a more positive attitude to Winter is having some effect.

On a positive note we are 2/3 done with the official winter months.

I know I am not alone with my slightly dismal attitude. People wouldn’t write books and articles about positive winter attitudes if  winter was all ticketty boo for the majority.

A SouthWest English winter does not look like this.

What can I say about switching my mindset from endurance to tolerance?

Seasons are a bit like work colleagues or club members or any other group of humans. There is always one that has to be tolerated, made allowances for and most importantly celebrated when they leave.

So good morning February let’s get this winter malarkey over with.

I may even sign your leaving card with a cheery message wishing you well with your future in the Southern Hemisphere. I will watch and make sure you leave.
