january can be depressing especially here in southwest england winter is gloomy and muddy
we don't get much snow here but we definitely get plenty of rain
i might surprise you but i'm liking this mild weather
because i know first hand how hard winter can be
the beauty of a first snow is often paid in months of hardships difficult road conditions
and a very cold weather
despite dark and sunless days i am making my days brighter by creating my own sunshine
the mild weather means that the first signs of spring
are visible as early as january to those who pay attention
primroses typically blooms first letting us know that spring
is on its way bringing us color and hope
do
one of the simplest ways to brighten our days is to bring smile to those we love the most
i know for sure that nothing makes my family as happy as fresh batch of muffins
i decided to make blueberry muffins with lemon drizzle beautiful vibrant yellow
lemon and boost of a vitamin c is what we all need when the weather is dark and gloomy
and sugar right sugar makes everything better
okay
um
hmm
two
okay
fresh flowers are so special daffodils are essentially mini suns each of us can bring home
you can find them in shops as early as mid-january but if your local shop doesn't stock them yet then
any other brightly colored flowers like tulips or carnations will do the job
do
down
so
winter months are meant for rest and renewing and the slower peace of those months allows
us to prepare ourselves for spring and new beginnings instead of wishing the bad weather away
i choose to make the most of those quiet winter days knowing that the wheel of the
year is always turning and each season is equally important in the circle of life
