Bleak

Not me particularly although I am not exactly bouncing off the walls, no, the landscape.  Totally bleak.  We have been in this part of the UK since we moved here from SA so what's different?  Last year this time I was rushing from interview to interview, the excitement of just moving here and all that goes with it and last year it was still snowing.  Snow such pretty stuff but when it melts it leaves behind it a blackened mushy landscape that is just not pretty at all.  When the snow melts it also exposes litter, strange I know but after the prettiness of the snow the shock of the litter that it has covered over for weeks on end and then there are the dog poos that disappear into the snow when they are deposited but are still there when the snow melts.  I told you it's bleak.

I think I have a little dose of SAD as I am really looking forward to some warmer weather and within 2 months the landscape is going to start looking gorgeous.  Where we live it is farmland, it is the flatest part of the UK so it is used for crops and all the fields are brown at the moment so no pretty green fields with fat black and white cows just the odd starving rabbit trying to find a meal.
