It’s definitely out here, kinda

 

[Krittersg]

hahaha - I too admire the optimism - but feel a bit more like milliepops - I think I will try to squint my eyes and pretend until I gain the optimism!

 

[milliepops]

i agree the end is in sight though. on a clear day it's light enough to still be on a horse by 5pm. Hurrah!!

 

[Branna]

Love the optimism! There have been a couple of moments this week when the sun has made an appearance and it almost feels like Spring is on the way... and then it starts raining again.
I still have a horse on rehab so living vicariously through others by booking my dad and friends into XC schooling & clinics!

 

[Hallo2012]

the weeds are growing so the grass must be too?! Raf is ignoring hay in the field too so that also backs up my theory!!!!

It's a beautiful sunny but cold day here in NI, hoping for similar over the weekend

 

[HufflyPuffly]

Was driving, freezing rain this morning so doesn't feel near the end, but the forecast is saying lovely things for the weekend!

We've been on a clinic where I didn't fall off and we jumped everything asked. Going SJ tonight hopefully, and my lovely YO is prepping my event calendar for me I think , so maybe I'll be cautiously optimistic...

 

[Ambers Echo]

It's snowing in Buxton!!!!

When I was walking the dog in the dark this morning I noticed the Daff shoots for the first time, and felt quite positive that we are finally on the turn. It was 7.25, still dark, and 1.5 degrees though so still feels like there is a bit of a way to go yet..!

 

[Wheels]

It's still too dark morning and evening but is improving

I’ve filled in my calendar with all my BE volunteering and have even booked my Barbury Air BnB. Have whistle and clipboard, will travel ?

Haha that's what I thought, until I saw the big black sky and it started to chuck down. It's heading your way now

 

[Wheels]

I’ve been avoiding work and looking up Rockingham accommodation!!

 

[oldie48]

Yes, Spring is definitely coming, my veg seeds arrived in the post, there's a bit of colour in the garden/pots and I turned Rose out today and it wasn't raining, wasn't windy and the sky was a teeny weeny bit blue!

 

[Rowreach]

I've been off work sick for over a week and went in today to try and catch up on some now overdue inspections, which involve walking around hilly bogs and losing your wellies, but I was beaten back by the weather. I've decided that if I get pneumonia then the inspections will be even more overdue, so I may as well have a cup of tea indoors

 

[milliepops]

My YOs roses are flowering ?

 

[tristar]

exulting a lovely sunny january day is usually shortly followed by a visit from the beast from the east, or some such freezing blast

 

[Auslander]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's a bit damp in Berkshire

 

[Ambers Echo]

I've had mine and Katie's event timetable on the wall since the dates were released!! But I can almost, almost start entering. Aston Le Walls entries open soon. Just can't wait.

i'm taking Alf for a paddle tomorrow, if it's still flooded! He loves it!

 

[Upthecreek]

Hacked out today with the sun on my back for the first time in what feels like forever. Horse was enjoying himself too (rather too much at times ?) but we came back feeling happy and relaxed. It’s amazing what a little bit of vitamin D can do ?

 

[muddy_grey]

Last week there was a lovely sunrise on my drive to work and I felt the glimmer of hope. Of course it has been grey, wet and dark since but that one day made all the difference
