After a long summery September, and a fairly springy first half to October I have to admit that it is the time of the year that I should start welcoming in winter. So, winter, instead of moaning about you like I usually do I have decided to make a pact. I can cope with frost, snow, fog and even some wind but I don't want rain. Ideally I would like a string of crisp winter days like the one before me. The grass all white and crunchy, the sun, creamy and low, silhouetting anything and everything, adding a touch of beauty through the mystery. You should be very proud of this creation, winter. Keep up the good work. I know variety is the spice of life and I will agree that even, snow can be endearing, if somewhat cold and inconvenient for a while. Fog is exciting too, the whole world hidden in a damp grey blanket, and windy days are usually sunny. I approve of that. Just don't make it rain winter. Summer has done that to me already, and honestly it is so over rated! Summer made it rain in Athens and a band had to play inside (http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/archive/issue2.html#b&s).Between you and me I'm sure that, that didn't make summer very popular. Try making some friends for a change. Put a few smiles on peoples faces instead of driving them insane with endless cold wet down pours! Do something different, winter, go I dare you! Steal summer's thunder (but don't take the rain storm to go with it) You know I'll love you for it and surely that has to make you happy too?
