For the first time in many years I feel I haven’t wasted January.
Previously the dark days of deep winter seemed just long and dreary and the hours were there to get through somehow until better times arrived. Given the weather we have been having this is all a bit odd but never before have I noticed the signs of spring this strongly and this early in the season. The longer days and sunshine will stil be most welcome but I will try to recapture this winter feeling in future years.

The picture today is of a beautiful moth called dotted border that was resting on a doorpost this week.

We have an extra attachment this week: a letter from Bishop Andrew explaining about his health issues. Do read it.

God bless,

Dineke van den Bogerd
