Winter isn't easy. 
It gets cold. It's dark for sixteen hours a day. 
But we only get a finite number of winters. 
So don't waste them. 
Dust off your warm coat. Get out for a lovely long walk. 
Mull wine. Mull cider. Mull everything. 
Eat as many Sunday roasts as you can. 
Go ice skating. Remember how bad you are at ice skating. 
Relax, smile and listen to the music of Beat The Drum. 
And soon it will be spring.
