Gl...Hi <B>anna</B>, season's greetings to you too my dear! Glad you liked the photos: I did, as I always do, take plenty of pictures though I had to stop because it got so rainy. Derbyshire is in the midlands: just south of north, it borders S. Yorkshire and Manchester at one end, and is sandwiched between Staffordshire and Nottinghamshire amongst others. This may be of no help to you whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>Your last paragraph is a good description of precisely what I aimed to gain from this break, and it's going alright so far - though perhaps I've muddled you up with my description of my holiday situation - this is the longest break I've had, but thankfully not the only one! What has happened previously at this time of year is that I've not booked time off (due to a number of reasons too tedious to go into here), but this year it felt essential.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're having a good holiday too :) xtrousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879862280895772283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-43037989745820873282007-12-26T00:50:00.000+00:002007-12-26T00:50:00.000+00:00Hei housut, Happy Christmas.

Loved your solstice-walk photos - Derbyshire isn't familiar to me (can't actually place it on the map at the moment, for shame) but they reminded me of my Welsh winters, with the soft fog and earthy colours. <BR/><BR/>I could live with the darkness, if it was complete (with But Why regarding the light pollution) and if there was snow. Oh, snow. The stuff of fables we'll be telling the younger generations about.<BR/><BR/>Hope you've had a lovely relaxing holiday so far, housut, and that it continues that way. I was horrified to know you haven't had any holiday in three years. Make everything you can out of the lack of restrictions, won't you - with no expectations to "achieving" anything whatsoever. Just being holds the ultimate bliss, if and when it can be achieved.<BR/><BR/>xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-59934016569898152932007-12-17T23:56:00.000+00:002007-12-17T23:56:00.000+00:00I have been thinking about the problems of going t...I have been thinking about the problems of going to work in the dark and homing home in the dark. at least it is only a few days until daylight beginsto increase.Lady in redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835625473505921821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-36948423863629763722007-12-17T15:52:00.000+00:002007-12-17T15:52:00.000+00:00anti, I'd be curious to know whether it does make ...<B>anti</B>, I'd be curious to know whether it does make a difference, perhaps you'll report back?<BR/><BR/><B>pixie</B>, that's doubtful: it's enough just to know it's there though...<BR/><BR/><B>charlotte</B> winter without snow is like brazing without flux.<BR/>Did I really just say that?

I had SAD while living in England, but it lifted as soon as I moved to Germany: all that bright snow certainly helped. Then global warming kicked in (allegedly) and there were a couple of miserably wet and soggy winters. And I felt just as gloomy again during this time of year. But then my daughter was born and I haven't had time to feel depressed ever since. <BR/><BR/>So, my solution for depression? Have children.
