Image via Wikipedia With the Indian summer we have recently experienced, all of a sudden, November has arrived without me even noticing. The clocks went back, and although it was nice to have an extra hour in bed, this also meant the evenings are shorter, and getting even shorter from now onwards. My dog looks at me with mournful eyes when I come in at 5 oclock, as its now too dark to give him that extra walk that he loves. By Christmas it will be 4 oclock, and it will be colder, maybe with snow
