Evening Janet, today is the most depressing day of the year according to our local radio, its a mixture of short daylight hours, post Christmas blues and the arrival of the first bills of the New Year...something nice about where I live.....well if you like Thomas The Tank engine we are having the only 'Thomas Land' in the UK open in the spring which should bring in the visitors

Hello Janet, sorry you are feeling low. I live near a Scottish Pub and I dont need the television on to hear when Rangers score, I hear it from the Pub! There are approximately 30 different nationalities living in my street. The houses were built around 1800s and the whole street is listed. I live in the centre of London but when I look out my kitchen window, I only see trees and bushes and I feel I am in the heart of the country.

Have been past Bodmin Moor on holiday, wonder how far I was away from you
I live near to Doncaster racecourse. the weather here is pretty bad, loads of rain and this area does tend to flood.
I hate not being able to find things Catherine.
Thanks both for answering
Janet

Oh thank you all for your lovely e-mails. I have just resigned from a voluntary job that I have done for 4 years because it has been getting a bit too much (political correctness) and that's why I feel low.
B.C. i can hear when someone is out at cricket from my house in the Summmer. I wish I could see the lambs but it is quite built up around here, I would love to live nearer the sea or have countrside views

JANET MY FRIEND LIVES IN HASTINGS

SO SMASHING..BUT NEVER GO

Hope you find another nice job soon, Janet. No wonder you feel down. I have a good friend lives in Doncaster, she says there is a fantastic open air market there. Am always promising to visit her. Maybe in spring. XX BC

Janice, I lived in Cantley for a huge part of my life, my youngest son has just bought a house there (it brings back memories he said)
I've never been to Hastings but I would like to go

Hi Janet. My daughter in law has a light box which she uses this time of year and she says it really does make a difference. It has been so dark for most of January so far that it is really depressing isn't it? At the moment it is dry here and I have just looked out of the window to see a really big full moon, lovely.

Something nice about my area. I live between Gloucester and Cheltenham, both interesting towns. Glos has the docks, the canal and the river Severn plus some interesting old buildings and a wonderful cathedral (think Harry Potter). Cheltenham is a lovely regency town. To the South of us we have the wonderful Cotswolds with Laurie Lee country, lovely walks and views. To the West we have the Wonderful Forest of Dean and Wales.

Interesting people live in the Cotswolds - Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Jilly Cooper to name a few.

Hello Scooby,
sorry to hear your feeling a bit down ,
my name is Hazel and i live in north wales.
just a stone's throw from the sea on one side and on the other side is the farmers fields as far as you can see.
So when the weather is rough you can hear the roar of the sea , then when it's nice you can hear the cows mooing and the sheep bleating , lol
i do hope you will soon be feeling better

Hello Janet

I'm another one who struggles at this time of year and I do find the light box useful. I also try to keep myself busy with family history, cardmaking and scrapbooking, and transcribing for FreeBMD.

The Kennet and Avon Canal runs past the end of my road so although I'm on an estate, we have lovely walks just a few minutes away. Our two little dogs love it! It's also nice to look at the barges and longboats.

I hope you soon feel better, why not have a word with your GP?

Mandy :) x

Hello scooby, not nice feeling low is it. my good news today is that I have just discovered a long lost cousin of my mothers who we didn't know excisted. He has emailed me with lots of info so I am very excited today and would like to send some of excitement and good wishes to you. Think my spelling is really bad on this thread but not to worry.

BC the market is not as good as it used to be lots of stalls are missing and not so many traders now.
I have wondered about a light box, I am on anti-depressants anyway, lived my life on them really.
Ann I have a friend who lives in your area, it sounds wonderful, I have passed through on holiday.
Kim thank you the flowers are beautiful
Hazel, I am so jealous of where you live, just give me a tent in your garden
Mandy before I put this thread up I just could not think of anything that would cheer me up, I have other hobbies but just could not be bothered. I am so so glad I put the thread on 'cos I feel better now having people to talk to and hearing about them.
This is the best reason for staying with Genes, there is always some lovely person there when you need them. I do hope all realise how grateful i am to you x

Hi Janet
Sorry you're feeling low but hope being on here will cheer you up - it's usually a good place to be so just enjoy.
I have a lovely view over water from my back garden but right on the road at the front. I get round that by leaving the blinds down at the front!!
You were in the same work for a long time so it will take a while to get out of your routine and to stop thinking about it. It will happen so take heart.

LOL Scooby ,it's a bit parky
for a tent at the moment
you'll get blown away lol.
