I have had the most wonderful weekend of sun. This is pretty near to a January miracle. It is completely inadvisable to stay inside should such a phenomenon occur. This is because the sun, may not be back for many, many, many days if at any time before April. A grim thought but most definitely a possibility.
January and February can be tricky – wedged between New Year where you realise all that you didn’t achieve in the year just past, the sense of uncertainty in the new year ahead and for me the dreaded Valentines day in February, coupled with endless, and I mean endless, grey days is just awful!
Since moving to the UK I have become a believer in the importance of getting out there.The first summer I was here, and despite the Brits peeling off their clothes and basking in the smallest patch of sun, or claiming heat exhaustion whenever the temperature hits the teens, I did not manage to get out of jeans. I was waiting for it to get actually get hot. I have since learned the wisdom of getting out there when the sun peaks from behind the heavy grey sky.
So armed with this knowledge I got out there.
It is just over a year since I was accepted into JBS, 5 months since I have had a positive cash flow of my own and it seems since September I have mulled over and digested an endless amount of information. If the required reading lists for Lent Term are anything to go by I have quite a lot more to learn in the next 6 weeks.
