I love the first month or so of early dark nights, especially when we get home from school and its dark by 4pm, come home where its cosy, put the fire on, light some candles, nice warm home cooked food and get all cosy on the sofa.....oooooo its lovely. I must say I've normally had enough of cold, wet weather by end of Nov and can't wait for summer....I love the summer months!!!!!
