January by Pilot - although I found it quite uplifting as the days get longer!

Oh I love those gorgeous early sunny mornings, when the birds are singing and there is a wonderful smell on the air - of summer!

Wonderful to get over the 'hump'!

I agree - but at least we will have turned the corner into better days (hopefully!). I always think mid-February is when I really start to notice the extra daylight.

Just another 11 minutes to lose in the afternoon for us, but a whole 35 in the morning! 22 days to go to the Shortest Day!

Please, any weather but this relentless howling wind! I hate it. Bring on some crisp, frosty mornings with blue skies.

Only 8 and a half weeks to the Shortest Day!

Yes, the dark mornings in particular are just dire! I hate getting up in the dark. On the other hand, I just love spring/summer mornings when it gets light early and all the birds are singing and happy. I never pull my curtains either so I get maximum light in my bedroom. The only way I find to cope is a countdown to the shortest day, and after that it gets better every single day!

Oh I hate the darkness. In the winter I don't mind the dark evenings so much when it's frosty and you can get a good fire going, but the mornings are absolutely horrible. I hate waking up in the dark, getting dressed in the dark, eating breakfast in the dark and going out in the dark! I love spring and summer when it gets light at 4.30 and the birds are singing with happiness.

I too heard the Robin's autumn song for the first time yesterday. I always think it is very melancholy compared with their uplifting spring song.
