Winter thoughts


Last night the clocks went back an hour as we move into winter time. I just ended up getting up an hour earlier! So much for the much vaunted extra hour in bed! With the extra hour so far we seem to be having extra rain.



As we move into the dark evenings, the holiday companies have started to send brochures & e-mails with holiday ideas, all visions in glorious sunshine.



We had been thinking we would go somewhere in France, possibly Provence, once more, & a trip to Italy, somewhere further south along Lake Garda perhaps. Now we’re getting other ideas. The idea of visiting the Dutch bulbfields when they are in flower appeals. As does another Rhine river cruise or even a Dutch canal cruise. Both these are being promoted by a travel company that specialises in accessible holidays so we are confident we’ll be able to get on & off the ship. The ship even gets priority berthing as it is essentially a hospital ship.



We’ve abandoned the idea of a Caribbean holiday early in the New Year. Indeed we’re feeling strangely relaxed for the first time in ages. If we go away at all in the winter months, we’re thinking it will just be a few days away somewhere in Britain.



Unless, of course, something else takes our fancy.
