cold weather and wet days

Ok, I admit it. I LOVE cold weather and wet days here in London. Right now, the sun is shining but it's cold outside and the wind is blowing. It doesn't really blow here at all, but it blew all night, and is still a little blustery today.

I hated this weather in CT. The only good reason for it was that I could have the fire going in the lounge, but here I love it.

The house is so warm we can wear jeans and long shirts - or just pyjamas.
The windows don't let in the cold or the wind, and the leaves look stunning as they blow around and twirls, as if the pixies are dancing in the woods and swirling the leaves around then in bright colours or red, orange, burnt orange, brown , yellow and green.

The old oak trees creak as the boughs bend and twist, and the sun still shines.

We've had our rain, and a fair share. I got so wet riding home on the bike from Richmond yesterday, a drowned Rat would have looked better. But I felt alive, and happy, and healthy, and VERY sore this morning- but a good sore.

So, I'm grateful for everything today, and especially for all the great things I have. I know things will work out, and be the way they should. I have great kids, friends, and the love of a wonderful man!! I hope all of you have the same!!
