Yep still raining .. off and on... but I've just looked at tomorrow's forecast and there is a great big yellow sun there. Fingers crossed here for that.
Washing machine already on .. ready to put the sheets out tomorrow. How sad is that!!!!

I am sure everyone is just bursting for a bit of sun. What a pity it's a work day... some people will not even see it. Luckily I finish at 11.30...so maybe a little fresh air and sunshine for me.

Look at this. What a sight to cheer us up before Spring. My cousin bought us this and we have really enjoyed watching it grow since Christmas . It flowered today. It's glorious.

Well the days are definitely getting longer. I usually drive to work and it's pitch black . This morning i suppose partly because the weather was better i noticed pinky clouds at one side of the sky and as I was almost at college the dawn sky was magnificent with the town buildings silhouetted in front of it. It took my breath away for a moment and made me feel maybe Spring is not that far off. This photo from fellow flickrite Bobby8 seems to say it all.

Wading Home from School

Water water everywhere. The weather continues to be dreadful. Nearby towns are flooded and everywhere the ground is absolutely saturated. This photo is from flickr photographer Borolad and shows Mytholmroyd flooded this afternoon.
Even for those of us on higher ground it's all becoming very weary.... although obviously it's not as bad as for those flooded out.
How we all long for just a little sunshine so we can get the boots on and get out into the countryside.... how long is it to Spring???

Back to work after the Christmas break. Had a great time.. but very busy. One thing we really enjoyed was a journey on the Settle to Carlisle Railway. We took Joseph who thought it was wonderful. I sort of made a New Year's Resolution that i would return to blogging but look it's day 18 and this is my first post!!!
