Welcome…
Call me crazy, but I can’t help but feeling there’s something just a little bit magical about this time of year. For me, the best part of the day is late afternoon, just as the sky is beginning to darken. As I look out and see the pink sky turning dusky, I can’t help but exclaim to my poor husband, kids, or anyone else who happens to be within earshot: ‘Look, look! It’s five o’clock and it’s only just getting dark! It’s so much later than just a few weeks ago!’ Because although I know it happens each and every year without fail, I still cannot help but be a little bit surprised – and very much delighted – that the long dark nights are now getting shorter, and the long, lovely days will be here again soon enough. This year, more than ever perhaps, it’s a joy to witness, as we seem to be rounding a corner, and sunny days really might finally be ahead. Fingers crossed!
