Has the sky fallen in?

The weather has been beyond words. I find myself longing for cold, crisp, clear frosty days. Instead we have rain and wind and days so dark it really feels like the sky has fallen in. I know that January's days are short on daylight, but somehow so far this year it feels like there has been no daylight at all. Has the sky fallen in Chicken Licken?

It set me to thinking about the children's books that seem to stick with you all your life. Some books you just can't bear to part with - I loved these books - they made me love reading and they made me appreciate good writing. Some books remain as fresh in the mind as the day you read the last line and
closed the back cover.

I have a whole tower of books to look forward to this year. Sometimes it's hard to decide which one to open and delve into first.

It's been an odd few days - getting back into a work routine and hours spent trying to deal with our internet provider, who told us our usage since 1st January was a ludicrously high amount - dealing with call centres would make you lose the will to live. Thankfully through a bit of lateral thinking it is being investigated! I have been writing thank you letters and writing up this years diary with birthdays, holidays and events. Not much else you can do when it looks like the sky is about to fall in!
