Wakeham

Well that was pretty disappointing. The forecast was for brighter spells this afternoon, which alas did not materialise and we ended up with another gloomy day.

It's no wonder so many people suffer from S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder or seasonal depression), which is when there is a biochemical imbalance in the brain as a result of shorter daylight hours and lack of sunlight during the winter. The Winter Blues!

Not everyone suffers from it, but those that do, and I have met a few, are pretty miserable and depressed. Fortunately I'm not one of those, but having said that I really couldn't raise the enthusiasm to venture out.
