It's an interesting colour and doesn't look at all blue (and I would consider it if it was that colour here). The quality of light is very differnet in the UK to my garden and plants that can look good in the UK can look ghastly under our stronger more glaring light. Its the Dutch light........I'm in Holland :~) jenny |

Don't rub it in, we are all about to go into hibernation! We're in the best time of year! Apples dripping from the trees, berries everywhere, beautiful fungi in the woods, all those gorgeous red and orange colours. And yet already you can see the bulbs emerging and buds appearing ready for spring -- Kay I am with you on the garden, mine is looking pretty good at present if a little dank! I just thought there was a smidgeon of crowing going on about the light levels (which you must admit get steadily worse till Christmas) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collections of Clematis viticella (cvs) and Lapageria rosea |

I have down in Cornwall a very flat climate temperature wise, never very hot and never very cold, but I like the rest of the country cannot escape the Latitude which means less light than I would like in winter :~) PS I generally cheer up after Christmas when the days start to lengthen again! -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collections of Clematis viticella (cvs) and Lapageria rosea |

I think I would cheer up even more if I lived in Cornwall ... it's such a magic place! I compromise by saving happy sunny photos to use as screensavers... -- Klara, Gatwick basin |

I always dread winter too, and hate it when the clocks change. Early sunsets just make it feel worse. It's been really pleasantly warm here today, though - if only it would last a bit longer. Hope you all saw some sunshine as well. -- Sue |

I generally feel a bit like that but it's nice to look forward to spring and as my mother used to say, every day after December gets longer and lighter. -- June Hughes |

I have down in Cornwall a very flat climate temperature wise, never very hot and never very cold, but I like the rest of the country cannot escape the Latitude which means less light than I would like in winter :~) Lovely part of the world. And the compensation for such light levels is that glorious British green. Here the natural colour of the trees and just about everything else is olive green (and even the British trees aren't that same shade of green as they are in the UK - strong light washes out the colour). I long for real British green and have recently threatened my husband with wanting to move to a climate where I can have real green. PS I generally cheer up after Christmas when the days start to lengthen again! I think that happens to everyone. I even cheer up after mid June and we generally get cloudless blue skies all winter. |

Usually start feeling a bit better in summer, with autumn when i start feeling really OK. I'm wondering whether it links in with whether you're an 'owl' or a 'lark'. Most people, whatever they say, are morning people; I'm an evening person. -- Kay |

You should have waved to the camera http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/New...es.php3?img_id =17441 Wow! What an amazing pic. Thank you so much for posting that link, even if it is depressing. The site says that the yellow spots with a zero rating are in "near average" conditions and are shaded yellow. I see that where I live shows up as being in one of these yellow areas but it is not at all "near average" for this time of year - much worse than anyone I know has yet experienced for this time of year - dry creek, needing to feed cattle (in Spring!) and record animal sales in all the yards. It should reflect in lower meat prices but of course hasn't. |

Local seaside resort http://www.zeezicht.nl/nl/webcam.aspx On the slide? Wish I could see it but unfortunatley I coulnd't see it - probably my slow and ghastly rural lines. In Amsterdam, a man sheltering behind a tree whilst taking a leak in a canal went into the canal when the wind uprooted the tree. :-)) That'll larn 'im! |
