Spring Is Coming

6 Replies

I really love this last week in January. Not only is January almost over and Spring almost here but it’s this week when I really feel the change in day length and that Winter is almost gone.

This last couple of days I’ve been able to see daylight as I’m leaving for work and it’s not quite dark when I’m locking up. Every day now we’re gaining an extra 3-4min of daylight and it shows 😍

For many Spring doesn’t start until March but I prefer the ancient Irish calendar with Spring starting with Imbolc on the 1st of February. Bring it on….

Today was that special day when I get home from work and I’m able to go for a walk in the woods before it gets dark for the first time this year. I managed to get home just in time to make the most of that unique period just as the sun is setting and the moon is rising.

With a massive relaunch sale at work the last two weeks have been long hours, very little time off and demanding days so this evening was very much needed to clear my head and leave me feeling rejuvenated.

It was brilliant to hear so many birds singing vocally as soon as I got out of the van. It put a real pep in my step and I could have sat for hours and listened to them.

The last 10min or so were in under the taller trees which brought an earlier darkness but I had enough moonlight to boost my night vision just enough to still be comfortable. I really do love the woods at dusk.

It wasn’t quite Venge Day but it was damn close…
