Midges only bite foreigners

Thanks HB that really helps   
Anyway, my Granny and Grandad came from Scotland, had hoped that might be enough to give immunity.
Wrong again

Definitely wouldn't suit me in the summer then with the longer daylight hours and the midges don't sound too much fun either. Think I will stick to being a Southerner!!

My hubby is an honorary Scots man. The midges don't go after him. 

I love the long days with no proper darkness, that's the joy of living further north. There have to be some benefits after enduring the winter months.

What's a joy to you would be an un-joy to me!!

Wish I could embrace the darkness Taz!  We are in Cumbria so we do get lovely long days in the summer, which I love.  Yesterday was so dull and rainy that we had the lights on most of the day.  I love the seasons though, so wouldn't swap.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the winter,

Thanks Sal. It is just that I feel that I have come home when the Autumn and Winter are here - somehow rooted and settled. I never feel like that in the summer. I hate waking up when it is already light. I must think I might miss something!

That's a lovely way to put it Taz, feeling like you have come home!  You've reminded me to look at the positive aspects like cosy fires, candles, time to reflect, so thank you.

You're welcome!

It's also about the landscape this time of year and the trees showing off their shapes instead of being shrouded in leaves. It just gives me a little shiver inside. It always has done and the Robin's Autumn/Winter song too really makes me feel complete somehow.

I do like the seasons if only they could be proper ones that follow a pattern.
Winter can be lovely. Crisp frosts and blue skies.
When we get constant storms it gets me down.

I love being cosy warm in the house but the fact I never want to go out in the rain makes the winters very long.

I did think of you yesterday Taz (no I haven't seen any stag beetles, too early I know)  .

I always think of you on the shortest day of the year, the longest day of the year.
Or if I see a shooting star or a meteor shower.

Oh & stag beetles 

Love Cazi x

Don't forget the rescued hedgehogs Cazi!!

Yes, I remember that one too...

Arctic Circle then Taz.  Rarely light for more than 2/3 hours year round.  Finland has a high rate of suicide because of the dullness and un-remitting grey ……….. give me seasons, light and shade ………. Spring flowers, Autumn colours …….

[Taz2]

I don't understand the Finland suicide rates though. Finland has four seasons just like us and their winters are often very sunny - freezing cold but bright and sunny?  Are you thinking of Greenland?

I love the seasons too - Autumn and Winter.
