Nigel arrived home from the school run last night with a happy little bounce in his step and the biggest smile .....
.... at last the gentle drip of an extra minute or two on our daylight hours had built up enough to really notice and it's effect on the little fella was both tangible and palpable.
He'd finally managed to walk all the way home in "proper" light, with dusk just on the cusp as he put his key in the door. He said it felt toooooooooo wonderful for words.
The winter had seemed so long and dark, there had been some respite in December with all the Christmas lights, but once they had been taken down and curtains once more drawn against the cold and darkness, his walk felt sort of lonely again, even with his air buds playing in his ears.
But now the birds were still singing as he went past the allotments ..........
......... and he knew that with each day the light would just grow and grow and he felt his heart sing ......... bless his little cotton socks.

I'm delighted that young Nigel is so happy with the amount of light. He will be even more delighted, when the clocks do actually go forward. He won't just have a spring in his step, he'll be bouncing, like Tigger!
Oh I'm with you young Nige - it's wonderful to have the lighter nights and birds singing. JantheFan x
