What's to like about February? Daffodils. Brave noses waving in the wind storm we have today. I think they must wish they'd spent more time under the duvet. And light - blessed beautiful returning to the world light. The reappearance of chocolate orange hot cross buns? Definitely. But Easter isn't for ages and pancakes don't show up for another week so they will have to wait.
Other than the loveliness above I personally don't enjoy February. At all! It was interesting in the car driving back from Okehampton today - it's a solidly made VW but I had a job holding it steady against the gusts on the A30 and there were some flipping silly idiots who didn't look - thank goodness for mind reading skills and being someone who anticipates problems. Rain continues to run down the INSIDE of the walls at work - I ask for buckets and predict we will have a fine crop of mushrooms if the carpets get saturated. There's already a fern growing out the wall in the metal shop.
But all of that is grumpiness and sour grapes. Apricot and peach morning skies and blustery walks at lunchtime soothe February grousing. For all else there's gin and tonic!
