It looks like we are easing out of the grip of our cold snap now. We have been lucky not to have a load of snow or anything but it has been very icy and cold. Monday is supposed to have temperatures above freezing which will be nice. I always find January a bit grim – cold, dark, and particularly so when you contrast against all the lights and shiny Christmas things that have just been taken down. It’s also always a lot further to spring than you somehow think. I bought some daffodils at Aldi at the weekend for a bit of cheer and we have some fairy lights up all year too which helps.

My 2025 in Books and Blyton

Reading The Secret of Spiggy Holes to Brodie
As I plan to write about what Brodie said while we were reading The Secret of Spiggy holes this week, my initial thought was to link to my review of it. Well, it turns out I’ve never gotten around to reviewing it…
So instead, how about my review of the TV adaptation of the book?


We are very lucky. January, February and March are almost on a daily basis sunny for 4 to 8 hours. Nevertheless, I hear local people complaining about the “long” New England winters and everybody has at least one winter escape (to another sunny area :)).
