Tis Almost Here

This weekend 
The clocks fall back
Winter is on the horizon
Darker nights ~ no evening strolls
Along a sunny summers prom
Instead it’s dark at four o’clock
With long dark evenings 
            Summer’s gone…

I find the lack of light disheartening
I’d like to sleep till Spring has sprung
For it’s my favourite time of year
When all the bulbs begin to come
            But first the Winter 
                             ‘tis almost here…

These forthcoming dark nights are so depressing Ann, get Christmas out the way and you notice a stretch in the evenings. Hope you're well. Tom

Yes I agree Tom the days seem so much shorter, so really not looking forward to those dark evenings... Several health issues at the moment, but hopefully things will improve. Hoping you and your family are keeping well. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
