I dont know why we all yearn for long summer days. Whats wrong with short winter days and long winter nights. The good thing about dark nights is that you dont have to feel guilty about sitting in and reading a book or listening to music or watching the TV. I constantly seem to feel guilty in summer if I sit down. I keep going to the window and thinking, must cut the grass, wash that window, weed that border. The list is endless. Now I just shut the curtains, light the fire and think cannot do any more today, hurrah!!
Also the best fun happens at this time of year. The children love conker contests, the price is right for that activity too. Halloween dressing up, pumpkin lanterns, bonfire night and of course Christmas.
So I am all in praise of cold, dank, dark, wet, but not miserable winter nights.
