Somebody had written in one of my gardening groups, that in 4 weeks time, dusk will be at 4:15 pm, a few minutes later than now. When we lived in Suffolk it was much later, but sunrise in the summer was 02:30! Being in the East it was the first area of Britain to have the sun.
I can't wait for the sun to rise here and the garden come to life. I'm not a winter person and look like a Michelin tyre advert, when I venture out! So every minute nearer to summer suits me!
I don't really care what I look like, as long as I'm warm. I'm a great believer in keeping my body warm to avoid colds! Whether that is true or not, I don't know but I'm not taking a chance.
Some beautiful photographs of yesterdays sunrise, creeping up beyond the Lighthouse. (Not mine)
And for all the talk that Porthcawl will die as a holiday town without the fair ground, its not true... because it was crowded here Boxing Day and each days since. Car parks full and parking on road sides and every body walking on the Promenade.
We met someone who stopped to talk to tell us, he had just popped down to Porthcawl with his two little grand daughters to see the beach, the girls were very sandy, so they had enjoyed themselves.
Who'd go abroad when we have all this beauty here? And Summer is on its way.

Beauty is certainly where you take the time to look. At home is a great place to start looking.
We do have a beautiful country don't we. I would be happy to never go abroad again, but take more time discovering all our beauty spots instead.
Summer feels so far away from here. It feels like -20 C this morning.
I'm looking forward to longer days, warmth and gardens too. But right now, it's cold and snowy. So I'm staying warm too!
We have snow, it's winter in Ontario, Canada. Today, Monday, January 5th, the sun rose at 7:55 a.m. and we still have sunshine, and should have it until it sets at 5:05 p.m. I am not a winter person.
I hate being cold as well. I bundle up even in the house. But here in Michigan we've got two months before we can start dreaming of spring.
Every day it gets a bit lighter here. I'm starting to see it in the afternoon now. Snowing right now.
Winters are fairly mild here compared to the northern hemisphere. WA has a Mediterranean climate, which sounds quite funny as if we spend all our time growing olives.
