As the nights draw in, the temperature drops and the curtains get drawn. The mood in the house changes from summer fun to winter blues.

It’s seem that all my girls want to do is curl up and hibernate till the light night, even with the offer of hot water bottles and blankets their noes and toes still get cold.

As we go out in the dark and come home in the dark, we look at friends on the far side of the planet BBQ on the beach and wonder why?

But they don’t have snow!
