news We have now had one day of "decent" weather since Christmas. Almost every
day bar last Sunday has been dire with it barely getting light during the
day. I can't wait for the change to come next week so long as it brings
some clear skies. I'm not bothered about a cold spell anymore as that looks
as far off as ever but the promise of normal High Pressure next week is
welcome. This is why I prefer cold to mild - because there is less chance
of it being like this!

Thirded - this is the kind of winter weather that I hate.... mild damp and
dreary.
